[quote=Anonymous]Also, how you deliver the message matters. If your message is, "your grounded because your bad grades disappointed me" and you are conveying that she isn't living up to your high expectations, that is going to get a negative response from her. If your message is, "you're grounded because you're wasting time on less important stuff like talking to your friends and not focusing on more important stuff like your life" and "I know you can do this, and if you do it there is a great college experience waiting for you ..." That is going to get a different, more positive response. In one approach she's a failure. In the other, she's not dreaming big enough. [/quote]
