How to use "Call on the carpet" in context?
When it comes to discipline, one person's idea of disproportionate punishment might be another person's idea of a call on the carpet. In a family setting, many parents believe that a call on the carpet is a necessary form of discipline. The purpose of this family discipline practice is to educate the child, and to help the child learn and understand his or her wrong actions. It is important to keep in mind that a call on the carpet is not meant to be a punishment that is severe or injurious. Rather, it is a means of communicating with the child and ensuring that the child understands and accepts responsibility for his or her actions.
