or should you only reward a child for doing right, and all other actions you ignore?

Answer 1

Answer 2

It depends on the child, the age of the child,  and what he did 'wrong.'  "Punishment" might range from expression of disapproval to "natural consequences" to paying for damages  to loss of privaleges to grounding/spanking/calling the police.
