[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was the offense directly related to the phone? If not, not sure why you would confiscate the phone. [/quote]

NP We have rules in our house that, if not followed, result in our kids losing their phones.  The rules are not directly related to phone use.  A phone is a privilege that must be earned.  Not meeting certain behavioral expectations, which may or may not be directly related to the phone, results in lost privileges.[/quote]

That makes zero sense. Try better tying consequences to behavior. [/quote]

NP. It makes perfect sense, except to parenting flakes who believe that everything should relate to "natural consequences."

I agree with PP. A phone is a privilege. It is the one carrot that I can hold over my kids' heads that I know will have an impact on them. Losing it can be tied to any form of misbehavior. [/quote]

The next time you get a speeding ticket, the police should come to your house and confiscate your flat screen TV.[/quote]
