any form of discipline can be twisted to be seen as a negative.

even talking to them after they do something bad can be twisted to be detrimental to their confidence. just discipline how you want just dont go to far

I saw it. Parents saying please when they told their kids to do stuff. To think about it, you saw it growing up unless you are younger than I think you are. A while ago being the "cool mom" or "cool dad" to their kids and others around them was a thing. It quote on quote made parents more relatable to their kids.

man I wish I got timeouts as a kid. My timeout was when the belt stopped swinging and I was allowed to cry myself to sleep in my bed.
