Naughty step/corner with a 2.9 yr old

[nutcracker]

Tried intoducing this with Ds today as he is getting out of hand.

There was lots of laughing (him not me) and him getting up and running round and me putting him back.

Does it work eventually ???

Have never had to do this so far but Suppernanny does get it to work, I have watched her programme recently and the kids seem to accept it after being put repeatedly back on the step. Recently it was a 2yr old girl that was put on the naughty step and it worked!

We have a naughty corner for DS3 (2.2) but the older 2 are sent to their room until they have calmed down. Even if they play in their room, they have had time out and calmed down.

DS3 hates his naughty corner and I think it works coz he soon comes round.

Yeah i suppose the message will get through eventually.

I want supernanny to live with us LOL

Use it for DD who is 2yrs 9mths. It seems to work well and now often the threat of it will produce results.
Perserverence was the key though, and not interacting too much. We just tell her very clearly why she is there and leave it at that.

i use timeout bean bag with ds and it works. He is 22mths and have used it for about 6mths already..lol

mine sits there says sorry we talk about what he did then have a hug.....but he still does the same thing again..so does it work?

mts when u put him in time out do u leave him? If he is repeating behaviour maybe a reward chart woudl be better?

Yes I leave him and ignore him!
Do you not think behavour is often due to mood?
Do you sometimes get cross about something one day because you are tired and another day it might not bother you.

Ot DOES work.... as long as you (calmly and firmly) make them go back (they eventually learn that they will go back (getting cross doesnt work tho... they just see you annoyed!) EVERY time so learn to stay there...

also dont interact with them at all... completly ignore them which includes making eye contact!
