[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, I’m a parent— kids in elementary. So what I’m gleaning is: -The idea is to take away the thing that is most valuable to the kid, and this is effective in stopping undesirable behavior. -Electronics are the thing that is most valuable to the vast majority of children, or at least children whose parents post here. -Also possibly electronics are a thing that parents feel ambivalent about (mentions of addiction) and so are easier for parents to feel good about taking away. Do I get it? [/quote] Yes. You get it. Video games, television, lights (in bedroom for reading at night), are all valuable to my children and don’t cause me a lot of pain to give or take away. So these are pretty common punishments/rewards. [/quote]
