+269 Grounding your kid doesn't cause them to not want to do things they aren't suppose to, it only makes them want to rebel even more against their parents, amirite?

You've been proven wrong by countless studies. I think it's the parents that do it abruptly and too severely that end up with rebellious children

If you use it only when the kid acts out majorly, then it works. The parents that ground kids for every thing they do wrong, no matter how small or trivial, just makes the kid want to act out.

Not punishing them won't work any better. Parents need to find the appropriate balance between "overbearing psycho mom" and "bestfriend".

Well, sorry to inform you, but any type of discipline at this age will make kids want to rebel. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be disciplined.

Me and my brother 'borrowed' my mom's work bakkie and crashed it into a wall. She grounded us for 6months.
