[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does grounded even mean for someone her age? What do her outbursts look like? Does she have them at home? When someone is punished ineffectively and that often, it stops being punishment and becomes their norm. I don’t think what you are doing is working.[/quote] She has them occasionally at home...they're basically crying meltdowns when she can't perform to her expected level immediately, and the meltdowns lead to avoidance. We've told her it's not ok to avoid homework, studying, and practice, and every time she skips one of the three, she gets another fun thing taken away (iPad, Switch, TV time, bike, etc). [/quote] You sound pretty clueless. I am guessing she is your only. I feel bad for her. Give her a break - definitely cut piano for now and set a time for homework and when she is done she is done. No wonder she is stressed. [/quote]
