2 1/2 year old on naughty step for 3 hours - now asleep!

My little boy spent has been on the naughty step for 3 hours, refusing to say sorry. Now he's asleep on the floor next to it.

We only had 10 minutes of tears during the whole 3 hours, he sat there pretty happily but kept saying "not say sorry".

I've not really used the naughty step much before and now have no idea what to do when he wakes up.

So to any experts on naughty step procedure - should I just forget about it and get on with the afternoon or should I still be trying to get him to say sorry?!

Can we remind you of the talk guidelines? We'd appreciate it if you'd use the same courtesy when posting messages on Talk as you would use when speaking to someone face-to-face. Please do bear in mind how difficult this parenting business can be, and if there's one thing all of us could do with, it's some moral support.

@colditz

There was NO personal attack in my deleted post, there was NO profanity, and I want an explaination as to why it was deleted please.

Hi colditz - you did make a personal attack, we're afraid. Happy to mail you about it if you mail us at [email protected]

Hello again. Just to echo SophieRMumsnet's reminder of our Talk Guidelines. We will delete personal attacks that are reported to us.

Obviously, it's fine to express your opinion but not to attack anyone personally. We understand that this is a very emotive issue but perhaps the OP could do with some support/constructive advice?
