New Hampshire in the Morning

Creative Way To ‘Unground’ Your Child

As parents sometimes we have to punish our kids. They get out of line we have to hand out some sort of punishment, there’s timeout, or sometimes an apology is needed, but if the child was really bad sometimes the punishment is grounding. Who has never been grounded? It’s the worst! The child sits around pouting and drives the parents crazy and what does it accomplish in the end? Well, someone has come up with an ingenious way to ‘Unground’ your child with a list of chores that are worth points. What you do is tell the child that in order to be ungrounded you have to obtain points, set a number, that isn’t too hard to reach and the child can work to reduce their punishment.

Here is a sample list of chores the child can use to earn points to get ungrounded, feel free to download and use it in your house.
