Time In!
My youngest son got in trouble on Friday. My oldest son was gone to his cousin's and my daughter and I went to the grocery, leaving him home. When we came back, we found him on my oldest son's computer playing a video game. Now it wasn't an unapproved game or anything, but it also was not screen time. He expected to lose the equivalent amount of screen time that evening, but I threw him a curve and gave him a month of Time In, which basically means that he's lost his home alone privileges and now has to go everywhere I do, no matter how boring, for a month. He also can't take his Nintendo DS anywhere we go because it's grounded too (although, really, it wasn't doing anything wrong :-P). This has been interesting so far as he's had to go chauffeuring with me several times for the older kids and he's starting to realize just how much of that I do. It's going to be a long month for him as his sister and I have planned some trips to fabric stores and craft stores. :-)

I like the has to go with you when you go. I think he will appreciate his privileges to stay home alone after this month is over.
I had to laugh about the fabric & craft stores.......oh, the torture! LOL!
Great idea for punishment!! We need to talk more to you!!! How creative and incentive...he won't be doing that again.
