"No TV" still holds its own as punishment, with two-thirds of parents reporting that blocking the boob tube is part of their punishment arsenal.

What about you: Have you ever limited internet access as a punishment for your kids?

(And in the comments: If you've done it, did the punishment work to curb the bad behavior?)
