I haven’t got a problem giving kids chores, yelling and screaming is abuse.

Hello therapy

Kid probs my got distracted in his too after 5 minutes and forgot he was being punished

I think that punishment is quite severe. I wouldn’t do that. A four year old can listen to a simple explanation about why not to do that. A simple 5 minute time out if they continued to do it just to be annoying would suffice

Unfortunately we don't t get to choose how other parents discipline their kids but for me personally I think 3 hours is way too much for a child of that age

Unless a bedroom is stripped of all things I don’t understand being sent to your room as punishment. My son will happily spend an hour in his room playing with his toys, reading, just chilling. Unless they locked their 4yo in his room I don’t know how they could have kept him in there for 3 hours unless he was enjoying his confinement.

It is hard to discipline kids a calm talk is better then yelling everyone makes mistakes. I think kids have it hard to be honest. I try to think if I wouldn’t do this or say this to an adult I shouldn’t do it when I’m mad at a kid. we shouldn’t treat people differently because they are little. I have seen parents being outright rude to their kids and they wouldn’t dream of doing it to thei sister mhm or anyone else who is grown
