Science is moving forward, and a lot is changing in relationships as a result.

For example, experts criticize previously established norms of upbringing - the decision of parents to send a child to a corner or a separate room so that he thinks about his behavior.

Experts have explained how effective this practice is and whether it is harmful to children.

The first studies were conducted back in 2014, and the results were published by the Times.

Researchers at the University of California have concluded that constantly repetitive actions can change the structure of the brain. Including punishing children.

The corner is the insulation

It doesn't matter whether the child is sent to a corner or another room to think, the child reacts to the parents' reaction differently than most people imagine.

It's about children's attachment to their parents, help in difficult situations, consolation and support.

But here, instead of all this, in a difficult situation, parents distance themselves and suggest that their son or daughter solve the problem themselves, and in complete solitude.

Brain scans show that time spent in the corner is associated with emotional pain.

A person experiences something similar when he or she is rejected by a loved one.

Conclusion

According to scientists, after such punishment, children can become even more uncontrollable and do not even think about their behavior, standing in the corner.
