It's a pointless regressive punishment that doesn't solve anything other than to shame the child and not actually understand or teach anything useful. Yeah wouldn't call it abuse its just backwards and completely useless at doing what its supposed to do. You could ynow try TALKING to the child who is also a sentient lifeform capable of reasoning.

Anyway the post is about how these arcane punishments didn't stop the school shooter doing ynow the shooting...

Hate this site

YOU are implying that a person became a school shooter because they were abused. You can kindly fuck right the hell off.

Besides that point, nobody out here giving time outs isn't also talking to their child about what they did wrong.

this is such a silly position to hold when it's obviously impossible to back up. plenty of people use time-outs to mean "get the fuck out of my face i don't want to deal with you." idk why you believe otherwise, lots of people are shit parents.

forced isolation isn't an effective punishment and while definitions of abuse vary you are saying yourself that it requires additional conversation.

I'll ask you these questions as well: What purpose does forced isolation serve?

What's an appropriate response to a child who will not go to or stay in the corner voluntarily?

You are fortunate to only know great parents, i suppose

You really think the parent who is posting memes about “disciplining their child” on Facebook is a well-rounded and loving mother?

I think there was an exodus from reddit so Lemmy gets the lovely reddit opinions now 🙃
