Time outs rarely work for my little one either. I hate to have to spank him or pop his hand but after 4 plus trips to time out I sometimes have to punish in a harsher way to get his attention.
Time outs don't really work with my niece. I usually give her a warning, then time out, then threaten to spank her. That usually works. Most of the time I don't have to spank her, but it isn't a hard spank. Just enough for her to listen. My daughter is only 8 months old so obviously I don't know what will work with here yet. We will see as she gets older.
Time outs has never worked for our daughter. Her pedi always tells me to do time outs and I tell her that they don't work and she just tells me the same things over and over again... Even after telling her that she thinks its a game and starts all over on doing the same thing I put her in for. Also trying to get her attion on something else rarely works. I guess you could say that she is a VERY strong willed child and she has even laugh when she is doing something that she should not. For example - she jumps off the couch ALL the time and even all over us when we are trying to relax. We have tried spanking her and that don't work, I have threaten her that she will get one if she does not stop hurting us or whatever she's doing and that works off and on, I have tried talking to her in a very calm voice and well she's only 2 1/2 and she doesn't really listen, and my husband is tired of her not listening...
So, we are in the same spot and have no idea how to try to get her to listen and not do things that could hurt her.
Have them sit down an watch tv with you dont lte them move or anything... I will annoy them, That was done to me my brother child an im going to do that to mine... Put on the news or history You get to learn in the process an they sumtimes end up falling asleep
My two year old daughter is not a bad child. I'm actually blessed to say that I have a pretty good child for a two year old, but...here recently she just doesn't seem as though she wants to listen to anything I have to say to her. I have never spanked my daughter since I, as a child was disciplined very strictly by my mother. I don't want to have to spank her, but the time outs are not doing the job any more. Is there any suggestions as to disciplining my daughter without having to spank her?
Yea it's true time out sometimes don't work at all. And I hate having to spank my daughter but I don't want her to run all over me and think that she can get away with everything. I mean she is a good girl but she's getting at that stage where I have to be on top of her. What should I do ? she is six soon turning seven years old.
