[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me the word grounding means can’t go out anywhere. I don’t ground my kid but I do take screens away, dessert away etc. she’s in 6th. She lied to me one Friday about not having homework and then was doing it Sunday night at bedtime. She lost all screens for an entire week because she was in her tablet both weekend mornings when she could have been doing homework. [/quote] I would never use food as a reward or punishment. [/quote] Why not? I tell my kids: If you continue to fail to do (blank) then there won't be Pizza on Friday. or if you are grounded you can't come to the Restaurant with us Saturday...etc. I also use it for rewarding, for example they get a good grade on a test, then they get a special dessert, their choice. Or if they have a good game we go get ice cream afterwards. etc. Btw, my kids are slim and athletic. My oldest prefers cash or chipotle as reward. So when in trouble/grounded he gets nothing![/quote]
