Not sure if you either remember being a kid and/or have kids of your own, but negative consequences are almost always inferior to positive consequences, or simple reframing. That doesn't mean there should be no negative consequences ever, life is hardly so black and white. But a discipline system built primarily on negative consequences has troubling relationship costs that only become obvious much later down the line. Parenting via negative consequences is actually very similar to industrial externalities. Sure, there are results right now, but the cost of those results will devastate the environment 10, 20, 100 years from now.
