Punishment is a type of feedback to simulate the worse thing happening with low cost but with enough stimulation to learn.

Eg a flick of the wrist when a toddler doesn’t listen so that they do listen when it’s a car they are about to run in front of.

Yeah, maybe I would need clarification on what the person I responded to meant by "severe punishments".

I have thought about the car thing and wondered if I do the punishment wrong and make them run into the street faster.
