I personally don’t view this punishment as bad. Punishments are not ideal for the person who’s being punished lol but hitting your kid is miles worse, bc there are no benefits of that. At least it’ll build some cardio when they run lol

It’s like when people make their kids do wall sits

I just believe in natural consequences and not punishment, esp not physical punishment. I support the authoritative parenting style and this is authoritarian. The poor little girl was sobbing and when she slowed down her dad yelled at her to go faster. She can’t be older than 3 or 4 I just don’t see any benefits of this and the child will probably grow up with a disordered relationship with exercise

Well we can agree to disagree then, I understand where you’re coming from

what would be considered authoritative parenting to you? I'm curious, because authoritative parenting isn't abusive but it also involves doing things that the kid doesn't like/make them unhappy (such as taking away iPad for the night) I agree I just don't understand

Authoritative parenting is mostly like providing natural consequences that is tied to the child’s behavior vs something else random. Like for example if you had a craft planned with your kids and they were excited about it but kept intentionally breaking things then the natural consequence of that is that we can’t do this craft if you’re being unsafe. You still have rules/boundaries & if they break the rules then there are natural consequences like the ones listed above.

Let’s say they’re not doing their homework bc they’re on their iPad too much. The natural consequence of that is that screen time will be limited until you learn how finish their homework. The iPad disrupts night/sleep time so using your example the iPad would be taken away bc it interferes with something their bodies need. It’s just more effective if it’s tied to their behavior if possible

And the natural consequence would be explained to them instead of just “bc I said so” like my parents always used to say lol

the child is sobbing while the parent films them and posts it online that’s a bit intense and seems like it’ll be really damaging as they get older
