A survey made in 2017 showed that most Peruvians have a positive attitude toward children’s obedience, which implies some normalization of discipline and the use of punishment as a way to foster them. Thus, this study searches to analyze, from a quantitative perspective, the influence of sociocultural characteristics, previous punishment experiences, and social representations of physical punishment of Peruvian mothers in their parental practices concerning discipline in 2021 using data from ENDES. Using the concept of habitus from Bourdieu, the conceptual framework approaches the relationship between parental practices, previous experiences, social representations, and sociocultural characteristics. It executes two binomial logistic regression models, one about punishment practices to prove the hypothesis suggested and another one related to severe punishment practices to analyze robustness, regarding the same control variables in each case. Findings reveal that punishment practices are constructed, by one side, for sociocultural characteristics, by another, for previous punishment experiences, and, by one else, for punishment social representations. It concludes by saying that having a minor socioeconomic or educative level, having experienced physical punishment or having positive social punishment representations are risk factors because increase the likelihood, for one side, of using physical punishment, and for another, of using severe physical punishment as part of parental practices. Accordingly, some policy recommendations for the implementation of programs focus on the prevention of child punishment.
