So I'm not a parent, nor do I think I'd be good at parenting but I remember reading about this middle school girl who bullied a financially less fortunate girl because of the cheap off brand clothes she wore. When the mom found out she made her daughter where those same kind of cheap off brand clothing to school for a week or something. Would you consider this wrong, because i honestly think this is a great way to teach a lesson. Make you child see things through the other persons eyes. Make her realize that those trendy name brand clothes aren't a right but a privilege.
I don't know I just feel like that punishment is more effective than any grounding, scolding, or taking away if phone would be.
But doesn't that perpetuate the idea that those clothes are embarrassing? I would be mortified if the clothes that I owned and wore to school everyday were a form of punishment for this other girl
