We were indoor kids growing up, and my brothers and I spent lots of time in our rooms with the phone, TV, stereo, computer, Atari, and so on. My parents very quickly learned that grounding us was not an effective deterrent. Unlike my brothers though, my problems weren't disciplinary, they were school-related. Anyway, they'd remove item by item from our rooms until it was not fun in there anymore and my dad's room looked like a friggin' Radio Shack.
As far as kids in public, I've heard that in China it is legal (and encouraged) to physically discipline other people's children in public. I have yet to visit China though. Can anyone confirm this?
