Being grounded became the trendy punishment or "consequence" when I was a teen. Some friends I knew had this and it seemed lame to me. I got a hard smacking if I did anything deemed bad enough and I would bet I was more afraid of that than simply sitting at home watching TV or reading.

Grounding is fine if it works. I think it grounds parents, too, though.
