’In punishment?’
Hi,
When a child is punished in a way which entails that they cannot do something because of it, or they have to do something because of it, like standing in a corner with their face toward the wall, what do you say they are in? How do you express that they are ’’under” punishment?
Please, could you tell me? Thanks.
