They're led to believe that if they behave they get good things, and if they misbehave they get bad.

Think of the sense of loss, the acquisition of zero while peers who have been good continue to gain. You received no prize for your misbehaviour. You were excluded, left out, forgotten.
That would, I think, crush a child's spirit more than a shot to the face.
