[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. But, with kids in elementary, did you really need it spelled out for you? Even if your kids aren't into electronics or they don't have much access to them anyway, the rationale seems pretty obvious. Even if you don't agree with the rationale, it's just not that difficult to understand.[/quote]
