Parents Are Now Punishing Kids by Taking Away Their Gadgets and Forcing Them to Watch TV

So it's come to this. I remember when I would get in trouble. I was sent to my room with no TV. Horrible! Apparently, the new way to punish your kids is making them watch TV. Seems pretty stupid, but according to a new survey it's actually pretty effective.

See, our kids are so obsessed with their gadgets that almost half of parents say that sometimes, they punish them by taking their phones and iPads and making them watch TV instead.

One kid they interviewed said, "The iPad's cool, TV isn't that good because you can't control it. Basically, the TV sucks."  The survey also found 58% of kids have their own tablet and 41% of parents believe their kid would choose their tablet over dessert.
