Preemptive grounding. I love it. That almost reminds me of a certain coach I once had to deal with while soccer reffing. I thought of giving him his yellow card at the beginning of the match, just to save time.
You know, this is a cute theme, however, I would REALLY find it refreshing if we were able to receive acknowledgement of wrongdoing, especially from a particular orange, former president.

The thing some kids don’t get about adults is that they used to be kids themselves. Ergo, they know how kids think.

Sometimes kids need time to think things out.
Sometimes adults need a time out (too).

Responsibility versus accountability.

Time outs are good for that, unless there is either a phone, a disc player, or tv in the room. Then it’s just time passing.

Don’t think of yourself as being grounded, Danae. Think of yourself as being unjustly imprisoned by a corrupt regime, like Nelson Mandela.

Encourage compassion by forgiving others before they hurt you. But you can still hold them accountable for their actions.

Never apologize in advance. You might be right after all.

That ‘take Responsibility’ political mindset ONLY works when people won’t hold you accountable.

Whenever something goes completely to hell, I always say I’m responsible, because it’s the only responsibility anybody ever gives me.

It’s only accountability if you never do it again.
