ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Punishment

Okay kiddo, let's talk about punishment. When you do something that your parents or teacher don't like, they might give you a punishment. Punishment is like a consequence when you do something wrong, like coloring on the wall or hitting your friend.

It's like when you forget to clean up your toys, your parents might say you can't watch cartoons for the rest of the day. This is punishment.

Sometimes they might take away a toy or a privilege like not being able to have ice cream after dinner. This is also punishment.

Remember, punishment is not always something you like or want to happen, but it's important to learn from your mistakes and do better next time.
