This may be a reaaaally dumb question.. but what's the point of grounding a child?
You know they'll never listen. [Some kids, like me]
And you just ground them like it's a game. O__O
Some kids don't even behave after their parents ground them.

yeah, some kids just get worse but that's not all kids...after my parents started to try "laying down the law" it just made me push myself away from them, my parents never ground me though, they just yell and belittle me _dry.gif

i think the point of grounding a child is to show them that the parents have the power to punish them, and plus it isolates them from their friends who the parents probably disapprove of anyway
