well I disagree that he is too young for time outs. MOdified ones though. We started Nichole on time outs when she was a baby, in a sense.
When she bit during nursing I would tell her no, you do not bte mommy and set her down and walk away for a minute. It lasted 3 days and she hasn't bit me since. She was 8 months old or so.
At about a year old we did time outs as well. they did work. I didn't do it for a whole minute though, usually say she was getting in the dishwasher when I am trying to unload. I would say "do not climb in the dishwasher" she would climb back, I would tell her again "do not..." she would do it again, on that 3rd time I would pick her up tell her again that we don't do that and why "you can get hurt" or whatever then I would set her down on the other side of the room and go back to what I was doing. She took to it very well and rarely would try again.. that day at least lol.
When Nichole whine for something (22 months old so whining is everyday) I tell her please stop whining and tell me what you want, if she is unable to verbalize it I tell her to show me and she gets up and shows me what she wants. |
