Has anyone else had this problem?
I introduced the naughty corner concept about 2 weeks ago for my DD (2.2 yrs) who's entered a phase of persistent disobedience ("No!") and also slapping me.
First time she was totally shocked, in floods of tears etc. Since then I've used it a few times with diminishing effect- no tears, grinning up at me while I put on my best stern look. This evening she was kicking me while I did her nappy and ASKING me to put her in the corner. I thought, well I should do for the sake of consistency of consequences, so I did. Then she refused to get out of the bl**dy corner!! She seems to enjoy so much the ritual of being told to get in there, sit still, then at the end saying sorry and having a cuddle, that she is engineering situations to get herself in the corner.
Can anyone offer any advice? Does she have some kind of masochistic streak? Also, to anyone who has read Tanya Byron/ Supernanny etc- wtf do they suggest I do about this?!
Many thanks in advance!!
