Disciplining children when they do something undesirable has been done since we were swinging around in trees and probably before then. The punishment method has varied from belts, to paddles, to canes, to time-outs. The pinch of an electric shock would work but isn't necessary since we can communicate with children.
BTW, did you know that electric shock has been used on bed-wetting kids since the 60's?
- yesenadam 9y agoNo I didn't! Does it work? Now I'm ashamed I immediately asked that. "Would you want it used on you?" sounds like a better question, applying to the taser and dog examples also. I'd answer no, maybe others would say yes.
- Dylan16807 9y agoIf I'm absolutely refusing to be reasoned with, only respond to immediate feedback and testing the limits over and over? Yeah, go ahead and put the non-harmful zapper on me. (Taser is in a different class entirely, not very relevant.)
