Yes. I actually do think some psychologists are on to something when they talk about grounding and punishments may not be helpful. There were so many times as a pre-teen and teen where I was "grounded" things like can't go to the movies, can't go to the mall that weekend, can't talk on the phone, cell phone taken away for a couple days after school. This is the stuff that had me boiling. And now that I think about it most of my friends also resented their parents for stuff like this and we were all spanked. I remember one friend committed suicide over one of her punishments which was she had to stay home that weekend. It's extreme but punishments really made me upset. It just lasted too long.[/quote]

:roll: So where is this going? No punishment for misbehavior at all? You can't hit them, you can't ground them, you can't take their phone away... so what, exactly, do you do when your teen defies you or doesn't do their homework or chores or whatever?

And oh by the way "that had me boiling"[i] was the point[/i]. Punishment is supposed to be punishing. Duh.[/quote]
