I personally wouldn't sell my kids PS2, mainly because I'm not that cruel as to take away something that means as much to the kid as apparently this PS2 did

You need to be creative as a parent. Some kids would rather take a major beating than a ban from their games. I had a nephew who didn't care if you spanked him, he would laugh, but make him sit on his hands for 10 minutes and you had his attention. Parents need to find that "hot Button" and use it. I think that is why some parents go overboard on certain punishments and wonder why it doesn't work. What YOU think is important and what the CHILD thinks is important are two different concepts.
