yes there trying to get you to think about what you did wrong be an putting you out in the yard is telling you to think about what its like to not be able to be in a house i don't know just what you did to have him do it but this thing about a kid reporting mom an dads for locking in room is bull lucky you are not in the year were the mom an dad used belts an willow trees. after i posted this i read back on some of this.
Locking a child in a room is a form of child abuse, it causes psychological damage to the child and can cause mental problems later in life. if that's the case i must be demented all the way

I think all most of these answers are bogus! locking any child in a room for absolutly any reason is totally unexceptable! You also DO NOT lock a child outside! EVER! Its completly unfit! Id turn one of my boys over my knee and give them a swift butt wooping! Maybe a restriction now that there older...You can mess up a kids head doing that crap your dads doing! I also dont believe in spanking if you have been mistreated like this all of your life, spanking would just mess you up worse! Talk to a school counceler, they would be able to tell you if its "wrong" or not...They can get more info on the insidents..and make better decision on the matter...I can spank and restriction with my boys, but they have been raised in pretty good conditions, and lots of love, they know there consiquences wouldnt be scary, just painful, and ONLY by the hands of me or my husband...LOCKING them anywhere is just horrible!

Im sorry to hear about your mother! Umm I dont really agree with the lock the kids in their rooms for a long period of time..I think your dad has some anger issues and has a very small temper. I guess in the sense of abuse I am glad he doesnt hit them but instead leaves the problem or get the problem to leave..

Locking a child in a room is a form of child abuse, it causes phsycological damamge to the child and can cause mental problems later in life. It is not a normal and common form of punishment! If your dad is locking you in a room or locking you out of the house, tell a teacher, a police officer or call your local child protective service and report it. He may need to just take parenting classes in order to learn how to discipline, that is probably how he was disciplined as a child. Don't worry about getting him in trouble, it is better him getting into trouble than you or your siblings winding up with mental problems.

My parents used to make me go to my room. I had to stay in there until I was told that I could come out. I also used to have to go pull weeds in the yard as punishment. No matter what the weather was like outside. Plus when I was sent to my room I wasn't allowed to play with anything or read anything. And you know what that lasted until I was about 16 years old. As a parent myself now I will also use this for of punishment with my daughter. Toughen up there kid.

Locking a child out of the house is not normal. If this is occurring you should speak to a trusted adult. If an adult is truly in control, it shouldn't be necessary to "lock" a child in a room for misbehavior. Go to your room means go to your room. Locking the door is unnecessary and reflects inappropriate parenting skills.

we have a garden and if kids "have too much energy" i sometimes strongly encourage them to go out. But it is hardly a punishment (unless they were in the middle of watching a great Sponge Bob episode ;-)
we occasionally threaten to lock them in "the dark room" in the basement below the stairs but I can't remember us doing it, or if we did it, it was just once and lasted 10-15 seconds and I stayed w the kid trying to teach him to relax in darkness and enjoy it. But the threat of it, works.

maybe your dad is trying to watch tv and your getting on his nerves and he's hoping you will run off that extra energy by playing in the yard or that the quiet time will cool you off.
he's doing the right thing by not spanking you when he's mad. some time away is a smarter thing to do and it makes kids think about what they did.
find something quiet to do like play a board game or solitary when your in the house and he's busy. talk to him when he's in a good mood about something you both like to talk about. maybe you will build a better relationship like this.

Count your blessings. my dad used to yell at me for NOT coming out of my room when I wanted to just read or be left alone. I would have welcomed being locked in my room over a spanking any day.

Actually this is a felony offense called False Imprisonment and your dad can find himself locked up for a very long time.
