[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people don’t do this. I don’t. (But my kids don’t watch that much anyway.) What types of infractions are you punishing for?[/quote] A loss of a beloved item is for a major infraction in our house... getting caught lying, major sibling disputes, bad grades, etc. Not for something like forgetting to unload the dishwasher or having a messy room. Taking away what they enjoy most has been very effective in our house. For each kid, the loss of the item once (and twice for one kid) was enough to deter them from repeating the bad behavior. And we've found the key to be the length of time the item is taken away. Taking away their phone or electronics for 2 days isn't a punishment, IMO. It needs to be at least a week for them to really feel it. [/quote]
