Grounding (discipline technique)
Grounding is a general discipline technique in the United States, Canada, and other countries, which restricts children or teenagers at home from going out or pursuing their favorite activities, except for any obligations (for example, attending school or any medical appointments). During this period, any positive reinforcement and other privileges are often revoked.
Grounding is used as an alternative to physical discipline, e.g., spanking, for behavior management in the home.[1][2] According to a 2000 review on child outcomes, "Grounding has been replicated as a more effective disciplinary alternative than spanking with teenagers with challenging behavior."[1] Grounding can backfire if the type and duration of restrictions are disproportionately severe for the behavior meant to be corrected, or if the restrictions are too difficult for the parent to enforce due to resistance.[3][4]
Origin
This term was used initially in aviation: when a pilot is prevented from flying an aircraft due to misconduct, illness, technical issues with the aircraft, or other reasons, the pilot is "grounded" – that is, literally confined to the ground.[5]
In popular culture
Fan-made parodies of cartoon shows depicting characters such as Caillou, Dora the Explorer and Little Bill getting grounded, often made using Vyond, have gained millions of views on YouTube.[6][7][8][9]
