Summary

It was once traditional to make misbehaved children sit alone outside, and passersby would know they had misbehaved.

Many child psychologists don’t endorse this practice based on two beliefs: (1) that it damages children’s self-esteem; and (2) that damage to children’s self-esteem makes them less confident as adults.

Children raised with the traditional practice do not tend to have lower confidence levels than adults who never underwent this practice.

Very Strongly Supported Conclusions

Either the traditional practice didn’t tend to damage children’s self-esteem, or childhood self-esteem damage doesn’t harm adult confidence.

If the traditional practice damaged children’s self-esteem, childhood self-esteem damage doesn’t tend to harm adult confidence.

If childhood self-esteem damage harms adult confidence, the traditional practice didn’t tend to damage children’s self-esteem.
