Yes, it's negative reinforcement. By not wanting a behavior to happen again the child is being punished, positive reinforcement would be showing the child what they should do and then rewarding them when they do that. That will deter away from unwanted behavior.

What is difference between negative reinforcement and punishment in psychology?

Punishment is a moral concept; someone has done something wrong and therefore deserves to suffer a punishment. Negative reinforcement is not a moral concept but a pragmatic concept; we do not want someone to do something, therefore we give them a reason not to do it, in the form of some undesired consequence. Of course, the actual process of either punishment or negative reinforcement could turn out to be exactly the same. Only the motive is different.

Does negative punishment involve withdrawing a desirable consequence of a certain behavior?

The question suggests that negative punishment is the same as withdrawing positive reinforcement. This is not exactly true. A "desirable consequence" is what behaviorists call an appetitive stimulus: one that, when made contingent on a target behavior, serves to increase the likelihood of that behavior happening again. That is the main idea behind positive reinforcement. Negative punishment, on the other hand, is meant to decrease the likelihood of the target behavior. It is called "negative" because it is withdrawing an appetitive stimulus which is pre-existing. In other words, the withdrawal of the stimulus is contingent on the target behavior; negative punishment is not a withdrawal of the contingency itself.
