Late last week I had to take away some of my oldest’s privileges due to some missing grades. I took away the typical things; television, video games, electronics, etc. The only problem with these punishments is that I’m also punished because now I have to find a way to entertain him because he’s bored. I know I’m not alone, we’ve all been there with our kids at different stages in their lives. My goal today was to find that balance so that I could get some of my weekend chores done and he would not be bored.In a moment of venting I posed the following question to some of my Facebook friends, “I need a list of creative punishments that don’t punish the parent! Taking away TV, computer, etc just isn’t cutting it! I’m the only one that suffers.” By the time I had asked this, both kids were being punished. Don’t you love it how the one child in trouble finds a way to antagonize the other child so that they both have to suffer the consequences together? I already had a few ideas from my list of chores that they could help me with, but they weren’t going to like it. Here is a list of “chores” and tasks that would work as punishment for your school aged children.
The day actually turned out to be fun and WE ended up getting a lot accomplished as a team. They couldn’t argue or say no since they were both being punished; but they tried to resist a few tasks. At the end of the day, I found that I yelled a lot less today and I didn’t do all the housework by myself. I guess there are some advantages to them being in trouble. I think the worst punishment for my oldest today was that he wasn’t allowed to read ALL DAY!! He is the biggest bookwork I know and he could escape into a book 24 hours a day if we let him. Don’t worry, he gets his books back tomorrow. I’m not sure when I’ll return the video games and television though; they don’t need those as much during the week anyways.
