Time outs are awful. A minute of Madison sitting in a chair that faces the wall with one of us holding her down. And she -screams- the entire time. Although, now I haven't had to put her in timeout because as she's moving to climb up the radiator (she persists, even though we had five timeouts in a row) I just say, "Madison" in a stern tone and she doesn't climb up, and does the drama queen crying she does in the chair. So we bypass the whole taking her off the radiator and putting her in the chair part.
Here's a picture of her silly crying face.
"Mommy, you're so mean! Let me rub this banana in my hair and I'll feel better."
Awww...Don't like to see her so upset, but you need to do the time out. Her whole face gets red when she cries...Hugs to you Maddie, just pls. stay off that radiator! Hugs, Grandma & Grandpa
ReplyDeleteDiscipline is definitely a two edged sword. I can see everyone is growing in this area. Best to you all!

I think we need to get "window guards" at this point if she is trying get on top of the radiators!
