Parenting on the Plains; How to Make Time-Out Work for You

Recently I’ve noticed that time-out has gotten a bad rap. Parents of this generation are often told to use it as a discipline method with their children, but rarely do they get instructions on how to do it correctly! What happens is that they give time-out a try, it’s an epic fail, and then they give up on it as a method for discipline. But if you know how to use it properly, time-out can actually be a great tool for disciplining your children. Try these tips to help make time-out work for you:

Living with Children; Are We Being Too Strict on Our 15-Year-Old?

Question: Our 15-year-old son, a high-school sophomore, was an honor student until he got to high school and took up with a group of kids who think good grades are “uncool.” As a result, his grades have been in the tank all year (and most of last year). We put him on slight restriction after his first report card, but nothing changed. For the past three months, he’s been on full restriction: no social life, no outside activities (unless at our church), and no cell phone, television, computer (unless absolutely necessary for schoolwork), or video games. All the things he loves have been stripped. He now tells us that nothing he does ever satisfies us, our expectations are too high, and that he’s resigned to living like this forever. Have we gone overboard? Would restoring some of his privileges motivate him to do better?
