I'm really curious to figure out what you think.
The idea is that you teach them that if they do something wrong like breaking the rules of the house or whatever, there are negative consequences that they have to deal with -> standing in the corner.

It introduces negative consequences without also teaching them that grownups/parents using violence against kids is alright.

By the way, house arrest is fairly common as children get older. It's almost the same thing.
