[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 151420, member: 3527"] I would kind of like to add to this statement about taking things from them for long periods of time. On occasion, if an offense is particularly horrible, we will take something for a while, but for the most part, it is only for the day (unless it is late in the evening, then it is for the next day). We have chosen this method for two reasons. The first one being that once something is gone, they usually move on and find something else to occupy themselves and they don't really miss it anymore, so after a while, it loses it effect. The biggest reason though, is because we started getting to a point when the cell phone was gone, the video games were gone, the stereo was gone, and there was nothing left to take away!!!!! Then our hands were kind of tied. And for some reason saying "we were going to give this back, but now we will have to hold on to it a while longer" doesn't have the same effect! [/QUOTE]
