I was digitally grounded about four years ago, and oh man it was horrible, I felt disconnected, out of the loop and generally made me very moody, for the first work I resented my mother. However when my term ended, I didn’t put a foot wrong. Now i’m not saying I was perfect, I truly was not however I didn’t lie to my mother ever again, we maintain a very close relationship, the perfect balance of parent and friend is what she is to me, I feel today digital grounding is a very effective discipline, not only as people will appreciate what they have done to get that grounding, but I found time to read, to study and actually enjoy it, spend time with grandparents and would offer to help with food shops, housekeeping and looking after my younger sister. Safe to say i’m happy I was digitally grounded.
