Time out?

Question

My son will be turning 2 soon. How do I get him to stay in time out? Do you think it's too soon?

Answer

No it's not to soon. You have to just keep taking him back and putting him in it. It will be hard but eventually he will grasp the concept.

Answer

Try a "time in" where you take a break together. So basically if he's getting out of control you can try moving to a quiet room with no distractions and you can hold him and read, sing or just let him be while you're there with him quietly. Avoid talking about the "problem" and just wait until he's calm. I find this works better especially for younger children.

Answer

I started time out on the naughty chair with dd. It's effective, she hates it. I don't make it a thing where she has to sit in it for a certain amount of time, just the act of being placed in it is enough for her. So she stays in it for a few seconds and that's ok for now. I started it around the time she turned 2.

Answer

I used it and it takes a lot of persistence and patience!

Answer

Yes I'm not sure a two year old will fully understand the concept of a time out. What exactly is he doing to misbehave?
