This “punishment by removal” gets the student's attention when they experience the loss of something they want to keep. In negative punishment, an unpleasant experience discourages repetition of the misbehavior by eliminating a desirable stimulus after the behavior occurs. Examples such as a teacher promptly telling a child that he or she will have to lose some of his or her free time due to bad behavior are common. A further application of this type of punishment could be for parents who ground their children, whether it be limiting bedtime, using electronic devices, or leaving their room or leaving the your room or to leave your room.
