Do parents actually think that grounding their children, exspecialy teenagers works?
Answer:
I'm with you, grounding does not help.
My kids get chores. big chores not too often
and they really do help around the house a lot
anyway.
At least with chores they have a sense of self worth at the end. Instead of feeling like a prisoner.
it doesn't cuz we are gonna still do tha same **** every time..they should come up wit sumthin new
Move out. At 18, you should be LONG gone.Grounding isn't the answer- spankings ARE! You don't need to be choosing your "punishment." I can see that you are a spoiled brat. You don't even think logically. Thank your lucky stars that you are not MY kid. Kids have too much freedom, and too much input these days. Maybe you should be staying off the internet, and put your nose in the books. P.S. It does not matter what you think, you are living under THEIR roof.
They need a clip round the ear hole.
it dont work
i didn't get grounded often or ground my children much but it usually worked,never got grounded for marks tho i can't see how that would help,i would have just made sure they studied for tests and completed there homework before going out
they wouldn't do it if they didn't think it worked. stop asking stupid questions, you're eighteen. try logic.
Looks like your parents should have been on you in English since your grammar and spelling are so poor!
My parents grounded me even if I made A's.. If the teacher's comment with the grade was anything less than "Does great work" or "Great student". My parents demanded excellance from me. It seems rediculas but in all honesty if you didn't make an A chances are you didn't take enough time to study the curriculum or pay attention in class. Listen, High school is a popularity contest.. When I was in school I was caught up in it.. I didn't do my absolute best and I hated my parents for restricting me from doing things outside of school or taking away the tv, video games, etc. Truth is now that i've grown older I have a better understanding of what I should have been doing and I regret never listening to them. Problem with teenagers is that they start thinking for themselves and think they know everything and they don't believe they have to rely on their parents anymore. But truth is the majority still need guidance and when given it they refuse it because of their own arrogance.
For me it worked...but I guess that depends on what you mom and dad consider grounding...for me it was my room...no TV no phone, no games.the only time I came down was to eat and go to school..and I really had to screw up to get that..
Well, the reason parents ground their kids is because some idiot thought it was a great idea to make it illegal to spank your child. Teenager calls you foul names and you smack them in the teeth, like they rightfully deserve, the kid then claims child abuse. So, it's a no win situation for both the parent and the teenager. The parent has no control, because it was legally taken away, and the teenager doesn't learn consequences for their idiotic actions. And they wonder why the prisons are over populated. I find that hilarious. It's the so called "do gooders fault." Back in the day, you wouldn't have even thought of pulling half the crap these kids do these days. If you did, mom or dad would have had a big surprise for you when you got home. It's called a whooping!
Uh huh,lifes just that simple right?...Just wait until YOUR a parent,you will be singing a diffrent tune.
I don't agree that it works. I think hitting your kids works a lot better because it tells the kids that if they don't listen to their parents that they will get hit so they mind better.
I guess we should just let our kids fail school and just do whatever they want to with no consequences, huh, parents? Hah! As long as my daughter does her best, I don't ground her. If she needs help, I help her.
I've never been grounded. My mom doesn't have that much athority over me (I'm 17). But I dont think it works unless you are brainwashed. I think that parents should get more inventive.
you blbber mouth! dont tell them it doesnt work!! just let them think that it works!!
i think that grounding only makes the parent feel good because the teenager could care less about the situation
i strongly agree, my parents never grounded me. i hae a few things to say on the matter
one, i didnt get grounded but i was punished somtimes, if i got in one really big trouble it was more effective than a long time of "no movies, no tv, no games, etc" becasue i had made one big mistake so i needed one punishment.
second, kids at school were "cool" when they were grounded becasue they just snuck out. parents never knew and it made the did look like a daredevil. it had such an opposite effect.
third, punishing somone for grades (grounding) never works. jsut regualte how much they study adn reward them for the studing, not telling somone to study adn then say "no you cannot go to the movies!" that has such an opposite effect!
I don't think it works. Maybe if they get in trouble at a party then they can't go to another for a week or whatever but thats it. I think it just puts a bigger cummunication gap on parents and kids. I agree with the chores thing. And on the grades thing. I wouldn't ground my kid for a bad grade, unless they didn't do good on purpose, didn't study, etc.
You're right, in some cases grounding don't work.
But a good old-fashioned spanking will!
I don't know what you are talking about. I am 20 and I was grounded when I lived at home and it worked! I think it really depends on how consistant your parents are.
