"And the Lord God said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.'" Genesis 3:22
So while they were in the garden, Adam and Eve had not yet eaten from the tree of life. Is that like a kid that hasn't eaten their veggies yet?
Not being allowed to eat of this tree is not punishment. It is a consequence of their actions, sure, but not a punishment. Why is it important to make sure mankind does not eat from the tree of life now that they know the difference of good and evil?
