A New Way Parents Are Punishing Their Kids

I know this is going to sound exactly like my father but...when I was a kid and I did something wrong I knew it. I wasn't put in "time-out" or have my game taken away from me for 30 seconds.

This new way that parents punish their kids made me chuckle. If I got punished this way I would always be misbehaving. According to a new survey this technique is effective AND popular.

Kids are so OBSESSED with their gadgets that almost HALF of parents say that sometimes, they punish them by confiscating their phones and iPads and making them watch TV instead. Really???

One kid they interviewed said, quote, "The iPad's cool, TV isn't that good because you can't control it.  Basically, the TV sucks." (The Telegraph)

I guess the concept hasn't changed much over time. We have all hated having things taken away from us. What do you think of this new way of punishing your child?
