Hi,
Punish - To make someone suffer due to inappropriate behavior or for having done something wrong.
Penalize - To punish someone for breaking a rule or a law (often used in legal contexts).
Sometimes they can be virtually interchangeable, but nevertheless they are not synonymous.

Hi,
One question, if parents don't allow their child to watch TV, do they penalize him ?
Really, either verb would sound OK.
But if you really want to be much more precise about this trivial situation, you have to analyze it more closely.
