[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 472425, member: 11791"] Grounding never worked for us. Still doesn't. (Might have some impact when the kids get wheels, but until then...) To me, it just isn't a "logical consequence". If I can't explain to the kid the link between the behavior and the consequence, then it just doesn't work. Logical consequences... - if you break a toy, then you can't play with it - if you break somebody else's toy, then they can't play with it - so you have to replace it - if you eat half the cake I just baked, then you don't get any more until the rest of us have had as much each... and that's on TOP of getting sick from eating too much cake (if that happens) Time-out is not a grounding. Its recognition of a kid out of control, and providing a safe environment in which to get back under control... for extreme rages, its difficult to define "safe"... ideally it would be a padded cell but we're not allowed to build those at home!
