Confiscating screens as a punishment can backfire. Here's why..
Contrary to popular belief, punishment doesn't create better behaviour. It creates sneaky and dishonest children.
Instead of punishing, it's far more effective to support your child to make the right decisions and behave better next time.
Screen time is a great example. It’s too much to expect a child to regulate their own screen use (most of us parents can’t do it!) Let's help our children make good choices in a world that makes it hard for them to do so.
