About This Quote
Being grounded is not a punishment. Stay rooted. Grounding a child or teenager can be a painful experience for a parent to endure. However, grounding a child is not a punishment, it is a way of ensuring that they behave responsibly.
Parents can refer to grounding as their child’s “time-out” from the real world where they will learn that they need to take their behavior into consideration before making their own decisions. In this way, grounding keeps children out of trouble and helps them grow up to be good citizens.
