Child and punishment, would a time-out be an effective punishment for showing the seriousness for these kinds of misbehavior?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Assuming the child is under 12. keying a car – immediate time out and then make them do yard work every weekend for the person that owned the car. Tossing items off an overpass – this can kill someone, a water balloon broke my cousins nose when it went through his windshield. He should be turned into the police. Hunting cats – could get him killed if he shoots the wrong person’s cat. Grounded for at least a month. no tv, no video games, no friends over, no phone. Tee peeing a house, if they helped clean it up the next day, no further punishment. Sucker punching siblings, grounded for a week. Playing with fire, same as hunting cats. Trying to get the sibling to do dumb stuff, nothing unless the sibling tries it and gets hurt. Trespassing on private property – make them confront the owner and confess, let the property owner have a hand in deciding the punishment. Spitting on teachers or hitting them – Grounded. Using grounding or time out only once will probably not work, punish them every time you catch them. You have to be consistent in your punishments. If taking away the toys doesn’t work, take everything out of their room except the mattress and an egg crate. Each day of appropriate behavior they can have one thing back. If the punishments don’t work, get therapy.
