I think your thoughts at the end come down to two concepts that are sadly very often interchanged when they shouldn't be: relating (empathy) and understanding (sympathy). Sure, if you've experienced the pain someone else has felt, you probably relate since you've felt it too; however, often, it doesn't take much more than taking a step back and thinking about what others are saying or experiencing in order to understand what others are going through. To make an extreme example just to get the point across, I've never broken a leg, but if I see that someone broke a leg, I'm going to understand that it probably hurts like I wouldn't believe. I could probably even consider what physical pain I've felt and just think to myself that what this person is experiencing is probably far worse than that. Then, it doesn't take much to understand that having one less working leg, even if temporary, is going to make life much more difficult, which would most likely be very upsetting on many different way. To be honest, I personally value understanding far more than relating. For one, just because someone relates doesn't mean they understand. Two people might go through the same pain, but that pain might mean something different to each of them. It's so easy to fall into the trap of "I've gone through that too, so you MUST be feeling the exact same as I did." I've seen people who relate to a situation actually accuse others of being in denial if they don't match 1 to 1 on their views of things, and even feel insulted that the one going through something isn't taking it as bad. If you think about it, this is why therapy can even work, because a good therapist can take the time to understand you even though they might not relate. In fact, getting a therapist that relates might be a problem as, being human, they might feel too close to your situation and start projecting. In the end, I think it sounds more caring to receive a sympathetic "I feel for you" than an empathetic "I feel you". Because of this, if the person is a child, my first approach wouldn't be to explain to them how others feel, but to try to patiently and with a lot of guidance get the child to think about the implications of what they did and how they would feel about it. Ideally, I'd like to see if the child can reach that realization, then perhaps I'd add the complete explanation afterwards. After all, while punishments are effective, they are extremely risky as, just like with pranks, you don't truly know what's going to work and what's just going to hurt. If MLP wasn't a cartoon, there's a non-zero chance that Rainbow Dash could have ended up with PTSD or paranoia from thinking she just hurt everyone in town and being in a situation where she believed she was going to die at the hands those she loves. The punishment worked, but it was a seriously messed up prank if you think about how it could have gone wrong.

I have nothing to add to those two great comments Other than Anti-prank gang! Pranks can be funny, but they're by definition at someone's expense, at a very personal level, so it's extremely difficult to make them enjoyable for all parties So, just don't. Pretty much It's not worth the risk
