I am having trouble getting into this one. Anyone with a hint?
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

The prompt said you would be looking for a suitable punishment for children who get out of line. Hidden in the three theme entries were three "children" - instances of the word KID - that were "out of line":

uniteDKIngdom
heiDIKlum
potlucKDInner

or

DKI
DIK
KDI

The letters directly _under_ each of these were as follows:

DKI
OGR

DIK
DNU

KDI
IGN

Treating the letters KID as indexes for the corresponding letters below, when you return them to the proper order you get:

KID
GRO

KID
UND

KID
ING

In order from top to bottom, the rearranged letters spell GROUNDING, our answer.
