[QUOTE="DFrances, post: 79314, member: 4093"] When teenagers are responsible, they can enjoy more privileges, but if they are irresponsible, they need more restrictions. Grounding may not always be the best choice for producing the change of heart that parents truly desire to see in their children. Grounding is a form of discipline used by parents mostly during their children's teen years. Because most parents believe that teens are too old to spank, they favor grounding as a more appropriate means of punishment. Typically, grounding is used as a form of punishment with the expectation that the teen will suffer enough to want to avoid the bad behavior in the future. Is it working? Grounding is simply punishment. Using grounding can severely limit parents in their quest to help their teen. I think one of the things we need to remember is that it takes just a manner of minutes to get mad and dole out a punishment. The result- an angry child who blames the parents for the consequence. It takes a lot more time and energy to get to the heart of the issue... lots of talking and sharing. It's essential we build strong relationships with our kids, so we can communicate effectively with each other. Parenting takes time, but it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
