Punishments tend to vary from household to household. It really depends on the kid and the parents. If the kid is an overall good kid than is it really a good idea to punish him severly. You have to punish them for what they do but if he is a good kid, start small and then get bigger. If it is a bad kid who tends to not follow the rules at any time, than you should punish them more severly. I really think that it all depends on the kid and parents, going back to what I said earlier.
Punishment for overall good kid: So say the kid is a good kid, who follows the rules, but somehow manages to slip up once. I think that if it is the first time, a warning or a talk with parents about what he did is good. If he keeps breaking the rules, than you can get into taking phones, no facebook, and no video games.
Punishment for overall bad kid: If a kid is constantly screwing around and breaking the rules than you have already passed the warning stage. You have given him the warning, so it is time to move on and get more serious. I do think that taking phones, internet, video games, etc. is a fair punishment. What do kids love most these days? They love facebook, texting, and all of the technology types of things. So to punish that kid take away what he loves. If you punish him with things that are not very serious or things that he does not care about than what lesson are you teaching him? You mess up, but we do not care is basically what you are telling him. You have to get to what he loves, so that he will realize that what he is doing is not okay. If you take away things he loves, than he will stop getting in trouble because he does not want to lose those belongings anymore.
