Suppose that little Joey loves spending time by himself in his room. Were he permitted to do so, he would spend all of his time there, alone. If Joey hits his sister, and Joey's mother sends him to his room, has she punished him? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Joey's mother has not punished him. Punishment, by its very nature, must be unpleasant to the person who is being punished. In this story, Joey's mother has not done anything to him that he finds unpleasant, so she has not punished him.
