That's reasonable, actually.

For kids nowadays, I would add the instructions "No MS Word cut-and-paste allowed".

Where did this fall in your discipline toolkit?  Was there a timeout, grounding, or other things before this came?

Right now our goto is a timeout in the laundry room and how terrible the behavior adjusts the amount of the timeout.

Interesting, what goes on the laundry room? (Do you at least leave the light on when you close the door?)

the timeouts used to be the guest bedroom but then she just kept jumping on the bed and having a great time...laundry room has nothing that she can reach and lights are on.  its not about scaring her but more for her to think about what she did without distractions.  when we open the door, we talk about why she got the timeout and what she could have done differently and then hug it out.  oh she is 4 years old and avg timeout is a minute

I used the laundry room in the past but worried the kids would start messing with the washer/dryer.  Now we use the central landing on the staircase--carpeted, walls on both sides, but still within earshot.

Should have just taught them how to wash some clothes.

Wait till they reach puberty. No amount of discipline can prepare you for the headaches down the road. I just gave up.
