Hi,

That is why we have a power bar at our house that the kids can't get to, and 
a locked out front pannel on the television as well as remotes that somehow 
disappear when we've said no tv.  It's a very effective punishment for 
Colyn, and he knows that he's done something really bad when he loses his tv 
for a while.

Tammy
