It didn't really seem to make much of a difference at first but we kept at it and eventually it kicked in for him. Now all I have to do is ask if he wants to do it himself or if I should hold him there... he will sit for the 2 minutes until the timer goes off. He tries to talk but I just calmly tell him that I will chat with him when his timeout is all done... and I keep telling him to listen for the timer. That's just a small snippet and I know things that work for one kid don't always work for another but I thought I would share my experience ;~) <br /><br />Oh and the spanking/hitting - I get the same result. Immediate hostility and anger from Chase... definitely not the route for us either. <br /><br />More than anything I just talk to him... explain everything at length and in great detail. I feel like a moron (talking so 'adult' with him) but 9 times out of 10 I can reason with him. <br /><br />Hugs to you!LoveLladrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978797008813692988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806032740488069005.post-5954832227978473632010-01-30T17:02:28.777-05:002010-01-30T17:02:28.777-05:00I loved reading your last two paragraphs. How swee...I loved reading your last two paragraphs. How sweet and how amazing. Not that I didn't want to read your first part in this post, but as I get frustrated with my own kid from time to time and burst into tears, I found I am not very good at giving tips or advice to other moms. Hang in there, mama! She will pass this stage. And every kid is different and learn things in their own way.namoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642476822346257296noreply@blogger.com
