[quote=Anonymous]I've got 3 kids and only one has ever been "grounded" - meaning, she couldn't participate in any non-academic/non-sport activity. That included using her cell phone or laptop unless she was in a supervised area. Shecwas grounded for shoplifting. Two years later, she was grounded again for telling me shecwas going for a run but was, instead, meeting up with her BF. She wasn't grounded for being with her BF. She was grounded for lying.

I've got 2 other kids with ADHD. They have made some poor choices and recieved consequences but not grounding. I was surprised my DD was shoplifting but it was a symptom of an underlying anxiety/depression issue. It doesn't excuse what she did but did lead us to find a counselor for her znd, eventually, medication for the anxiety which I hadn't realized she suffered from.

Oh, my kids do have curfews, too. I'm flexible if they communicate with me AND they keep up with stuff. My DD has said that although she sometimes finds it annoying, she does know that they are beneficial. [/quote]
