I caught my kid chewing on electrical cords

So I had to ground him. He's doing better currently, and now conducting himself properly. *hides*

He had a positive experience I assume? :)

I'm sure he enjoyed the plug. It's good to have this outlet.

At least the current situation is better, though I suppose there are tensions in the house now. You did a good show of power by grounding him, just be lenient - he's young and this is just a phase.

Be careful, in the future, he might refuse.

You brought him down to earth {groan}

Gotta admit, that kid's got potential!

Currently, I hope the kid is offering no resistance to being grounded, that would potentially make a big enough difference to blow his fuse.

This should be punished via negative reinforcement, a common solution.
