With school back in full swing, so is the parent's eternal search for the best consequence for managing the problems they are having with their child. Whether it is homework hassles, school behavior reports, or poor grades, parents are constantly looking for the best way to "motivate" their child into compliance.

Unfortunately, this often leads to parents using the easy and somewhat thoughtless punishment of cell phone removal. That is, no matter the infraction, parents take away the one thing that they know will affect their child -- their phone. In this podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard discuss why this is not an effective punishment and the possible unintended consequences.
