bonus parenting chat q: what do you do when the kid won't stay in time out?

Posted by poxie (aka chris) Oct 27 '11, 13:02

TIME OUT

You mentioned using a time out in another room to stop a two-year old from hitting. I've done what you mentioned with my 2.5 year-old son for various offenses - hitting, biting, etc. However, he just starts screaming and runs after me. He won't stay in time out. Is there a strategy for keeping a kid in time out without creating a mini-jail in one's home?

        Yeah, my mother used the wooden spoon, too. Held my upper arm tight with her long, sharp fingernails while swinging at me. The gouges in my arm some - CovingtonCat Oct 27, 13:24 1

        We got the rubber spatula. That particular drawer squeaked, so dinner time was always stressful. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 13:18
