OK what about grounding kids who's great idea was that?

Question

for grounding kids as a punishment or deterrant you would have to do it for months i cant be the only parent whos had enough after 1 day be honest!!!!

Answer 1

grounding only works if you do it properly and grounding for too long is just impractical, of course your going to relent.

never threaten to do something you don't intend to do.

it's best to ground for 1 day but with no t.v. no PlayStation etc.

1day will feel like a month to your child, what ever the age.
if you give in to anything you've said will happen all your child is learning is that you don't mean what you say and they will get away with anything x

Like 'The Nanny's Naughty Corner', 'grounding' doesn't have to be more than a solitary day. It's 'punishment' to be administered for the violation to be pondered & recognised as unacceptable behaviour, not as a time for Gameboys, TV, Computers & Toys. It would only 'work' if more important 'grounding' such as Vacation Bible School is incorporated. Positive & Negative reinforcements are required in a continuing program of consistancy. Parents must rise to the challenge & face the awesome responsibility of the position or simply relinquish it to someone more willing & able. To be honest, I'm not ever going to be willing to accept that challenge.

Answer 3

I never had to "ground" my daughter. We had set rules, television, videos, games, were privileges that had to be earned rather than just handed to her. If she behaved she earned her privileges if she didn't behave she didn't earn them. Consequently no grounding no having a whiny kid in the house driving me nuts. She didn't grow up with a television in her bedroom, she didn't have her own computer until she was able to pay for her own. I'd say the major discipline problems arise when kids are handed these things without earning them. I used to get "I have my rights" from my daughter all the time to which I replied..."Yes you have the right to a roof over your head, food in your belly, clothes to cover your body, a place to sleep and access to an education and that is ALL. The rest is "fluff" and that has to be earned in MY HOME". Worked every time.
