Despite the kid’s protests and complaints about how cold the water was, the mother was unrelenting, determined to teach her son empathy.
“No more!” the child cried.
“Did you think about how the kids downstairs felt when you threw water at them?” the mother replied, only stopping once she felt his remorse was genuine.
Teachers from the school called the parent, who goes by @lanxichen on Douyin, and asked her to discipline the boy for pranking other students. In the clip, the mother explained that her intention was to help the boy understand how it felt to be on the receiving end of his pranks.

“This is the best method I’ve seen,” one viewer said. “The mother was not venting her frustration but calmly teaching her son through experience and reason.”
On the other hand, some users felt the punishment could easily backfire if the boy took the wrong lesson out of it and decided instead to escalate his naughty behavior.
“What if next time he thinks tossing stones at people is fun?” another argued. “Will you then throw rocks at him?”
Disciplining kids through physical punishment is as much a cultural issue as it is an economic one, as experts believe the related trauma causes dysfunction in their lives as adultsÂ

The physical “education” of children is a prevalent issue in China that is deeply ingrained in the nation’s culture and history.Â
