[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Humiliating and punitive.[/quote] Punishment is supposed to be punitive. You want to disincentivize him from future misbehavior. Doing it as you do for a minute per year of age, which is the general rule of thumb, will not cause lasting harm, but may have the positive outcome of modifying his behavior. While we didn’t make out kids touch their nose to the wall, we would put a chair in the corner, and the child had to sit there facing the corner. Touching the nose to the wall might be a little stricter, but I don’t thick it’s unreasonable or damaging. You might consider sending the sibling out of the room for the duration.
