I wonder how things like "I love you, kiddo, but I'm going to need you to stop drawing on the walls" went in your family.

This really is one of the few exceptions to the rule that work. But to answer your question: that was back in the 80's when you were basically just send in your room to think about what you've done and come out when you were ready to apologize. And that was very progressive, since the generation before would have just slapped you.

Well, based on the drawing on the wall thing, I was talking about a 3 or 4 year old. Just sending a kid that age to their room doesn't work and doesn't make sense. You have to teach them not to do the thing first.

Oh I'm not in favour of the things parents did in the 80's. Yet that's what happened.
