[quote=Anonymous]I don't ever send my kids to their rooms as a punishment. I was never sent to my room, nor was my mother. Her mother believed a bedroom should be a sanctuary, where a child should want to go (to help with good sleep routines, I guess). Sending a child to his/her room as punishment would make that space a prison rather than a 'feel good' place. Not sure I feel quite as strongly about it as my grandmother did, but I share the general sentiment and have continued using it as a guide. Anyway, alternative punishments always seem available. If my child needs a time out he goes to sit on the couch quietly for a period of time to calm down and/or 'think'. Seems to work for us. [/quote]
