[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 472404, member: 1169"] Consequences including grouding are only beneficial if the child 1. Understands what behavior is expected. 2. Has the skills necessary to perform the behavior. So, my kids can and have been grounded but only when I am sure that they truly understood what behavior they should have done (or not have done) and that they were capable, at that moment, of executing the behavior. Sometimes they would be capable of the behavior in some calmer environments but not the more chaotic environments. I usually use grounding when I think they could benefit from some downtime. I really wish when my boys were pre-schoolers that I would have slowed eveything down and spent more time teaching the steps of expected behavior. I didn't really get that they didn't know HOW to behave instead of just not behaving. [/QUOTE]
