Punishments

My parents always tell me that they will take away the computer or my phone when I misbehave. Though lately it has moved from more electronic things to them threatening that they will take away my car keys and I wont be able to drive. I think taking away electronic things and privliges is a perfectly fine punishment. The idea of a punishment is to take away something that people like so that they will listen to you. When my parents were kids they got things like Tv and being outside taken away from them because that is what they did. Kids today play on the computer and sue electronic alot more than they are outside so it would make sense that as punishment they would lsoe those privliges rather than going outside or something that they do not care about as much. You will make a much bigger impact on someone if you really do not like the punishment as opposed to something that is maybe not as big of deal to you and something you can deal with no problem. When I have kids I will probably ground them from electronics rather than going outside or anything else, but it really will be what they most enjoy doing and what they do the most. So in my own opinon taking away thigns like phoens and internet and even facebook is a great punishment since that's what people do more than anything else. The main idea is to take away things that will make the biggest impact on the person who is getting in trouble. In the future even more things that we think wird will be taken away, things like games will be taken away more and more and even things like internet acces at all. Or maybe more grounding fromc ertain sites or things like that. I myself have not been grounded in quite a long time sicne Im a great kid.
