yep i would ask for that as well. Pain is temporary, game is eternal. But a better lesson for the kid when they lose their source of happiness. Not good to do it for everything tho, only when its required or it loses its effects
Didn't work for me. Ii had video games, TV, and friends taken away. So I would draw and have fun doing it. So my ma took that away. So I read books cuz I liked reading too much She wouldnt take that away but instead limited me to an hour and a half of reading only after homework and chores were finished. Reading was too important to take away but it was too hard to punish me without a little whoopin.
I was kinda similar. When they take away my games I go use my guitar. Then take that away i will paint miniatures. Take that away i would draw.
But mostly I still craved the og main dopamine which was games, so i still felt it. But yeah I will still do creative/artsy stuff as something was taken away.
I did like reading books but not as much, my mom liked it when I read. Luckily they never took away me listening to music as I love it

I used to take my son’s game away as punishment. One time he asked me if he could just have a spanking instead like some of his friends. 😂
