19 months and time out?

[WelshBoris]

My mum picks DD up from creche, and today she had "time out for climbing on tables" on her sheet

If she does something she shouldnt in my house, I tell her no and distract her, I thought Time Out was for older babies?

Am I wrong?
Dont know how I feel about this

It would do her no harm to have the time out principle given to her. Don't know when it becomes effective. I'd hope that she gets the hang of it at nursery and all you'll have to do is mention the words time out and she'll behave!

It is pretty young isn't it? I would ask them about it.

I think if she had been warned and other methods had been tried already, then it was possibly a good move.

I'm thinking of my 15 month old who's hit the terrible two early and insists on switching on the oven and opening the freezer. No amount of getting down to his level and saying, 'NO' is working at the moment and he won't be distracted because he only wants to do what I'm doing. He's too young to understand the concept of time out but I may have to start taking him out of the room soon.

Ill ring them from work tomorrow and ask, when I drop her off only skeleton staff are in (the really skinny nursery nurses )

I spose it depends on what the age group is in her class - the staff can't be seen to let her away with something an older child would get time out for??
