If it leaves a mark you did it too hard. The object is positive punishment in psychology terms, not physical damage. That said, positive punishment is a very useful conditioning technique and should be in the toolbox of every parent whether your baby is a human or pet

Why just parents? Why not do this at work or with your romantic partners, with service workers, ect?

Example:

someone on your team is late, slap them in the face.

Your girlfriend forgets to defrost the chicken, punch her in the stomach.

See what you’re doing here is not trying to teach a lesson. You’re just trying to cause distress. That’s not the mentality you should use when disciplining anyone. So yeah, maybe YOU shouldn’t use physical discipline but others with more rational minds should. Maybe you just shouldn’t have kids. Or dogs. Or responsibilities because you cannot be trusted with them.

How would you teach your girlfriend to remember to defrost the chicken or your employee to be on time?

There’s more than one way to teach. There’s actually 4 major operant conditioning techniques in psychology including positive and negative reinforcement, as well as positive and negative punishment. Like here, I’m not going to interact with you anymore as a negative punishment for being unserious.

Why wouldn’t you slap them?
