Try The Point System The Next Time You Ground Your Kids
Looking for a different approach to punishing your kids? I saw an interesting chart on facebook that said instead of grounding your kids for a set amount of time you should ground them using the point system. So instead of 2 weeks you might ground them for 500points - Your child would then have to do various chores to earn points in order to gain back their freedom. You could adjust the point system to how you see fit but this was the example that I saw.
IN ORDER TO GET UNGROUNDED YOU MUST OBTAIN 500 POINTS.
