politics

I think that besides all that its also a... weird suggestion? 'Go to the shame corner and look at the wall!' sounds like something an alien would say when managing children. It comes across to me that they're not actually engaging with a discussion about permissive parenting, they're defending a specific practice which they think is legitimate. Without stopping and thinking about whether it makes sense.

I can imagine some hyperactive children I know hating the silence corner for all of 5 minutes before they forget it was even a thing. But the parents I know wouldn't even think of using it. They'd retract phone/toy/game privileges instead.
