My son recently got a day suspension for insubordination, so instead of whippin him, he had to get up at 6am & rake my 1/2 acre backyard lost his ps3, satelite tv & if he has a bad attitude he will lose his car. I refused to wear myself out hittin a kid who is 6'2 270 lb football player 
That's my kinda punishment, Pastor Jeff.
My teenager had to do parent-assigned community service if she broke certain rules, which often included going into the neighborhood and picking up trash off the street. There comes a time when they're too big to hit, but still need to know that there's REAL punishment out there waiting for people who break rules... if you can't handle this punishment, surely you can't handle what awaits you in prison!!!
I've taken all sorts of things from my daughter. I won't say it all here because y'all might think I'm crazy!! LOL! But, the bottom line is that in my house, if you don't follow my rules, I don't have to "bless" you with anything more than the basic necessities.... and you betta believe that, or I'll prove it!
Luxuries they are. How does temporary punishment of no usage of luxury items going to back your teachings to respect rules and regulations? After the fact, he did break them, right?
Temporarily taking away items (or freedoms) that children enjoy is usually a wake-up call to them to show them that worse punishment lies ahead if they don't get themselves together and follow the rules. It's a way of reinforcing that they have no choice but to abide by the rules, or there will be consequences. It's a way of demonstrating that for the rest of their lives, they will have to follow rules or face consequences. It shows them that they will be rewarded for being upstanding "citizens" (of the home and in the community), and they will be chastised for breaking rules.
More specifically, there was a time that I took my daughter's wardrobe away from her. She had, on several occasions, been caught changing into a friend's borrowed clothes at school. I had warned her several times, and on the last time, it became clear to me that she didn't have an appreciation of her wardrobe, so I took it from her temporarily. By the time that "punishment" was done, she was begging for her clothes, and willing to do just about anything to prove that she was responsible and deserving, and that she would follow the rules I set for her.
