Grounding was the practice of restricting one's child's activities due to an infraction they had committed.
While growing up on the ECS Horizon, his childhood home, Travis Mayweather and Nora jumped on the bed after turning off the grav-plating, resulting in their being grounded. In 2153, while Travis was visiting the Horizon, he suggested doing do again to Nora, who declined, saying him being grounded again wouldn't look good on his Starfleet record. (ENT: "Horizon")
