I'm going to get my kids a harness when I have a chance. I couldn't care less what other parents think: I have two toddlers who will yank their hands away and run unless I'm very careful. I'd rather have 2 live, non-squished-by cars kids than the approval of strangers. It will be a nice alternative to the stroller and more socially acceptable than shackling them together like little convicts. We haven't done the mat, but I could see it when they are older. I think the big determinant is your kid's personality. My girl is the tester of all limits, but I think I would have to staple her onto a mat or it will turn into either a game or a power struggle. So she just gets stuff taken away and is removed from situations a lot. For now, no mat. But I think that or a time-out chair works well as a rule when kids are able to control themselves. I hope he's a good boy today too  The baby cage is a spoof. There is another one wandering around the internet that is a giant, old fashioned bird cage, but I can't find it atm. We also say that we regret giving away our dog crate after we got rid of our dog as it would have come in handy with the kids.  | ||

Personally, I don't like the negative connotations of a "naughty" chair/pad/mat. I'd rather just set up a spot and call it "Time Out". | ||

I might have to check this out. I wonder if they one that would comfortably fit a 4'6" 12 year old. This facination with boys is not getting any better.  | |||

I figured I would just use a pair of vice grips to keep the boys away.

Various kids like to come over to play Xbox 360, but that is just an excuse to come over after school and socialize. They start playing some game, but it quickly just becomes middle school gossip hour about all the dramas that are going on. I am not sure who likes who this week. | ||||
