The good ol' Super Nanny recommend timeout ( using their age as the number of minutes they have to stay there) is just not cutting it any more.
Whenver I tell Drake that he is going to timeout he smiles and runs to put himself in timeout (sitting down facing the pantry door) and then starts to fake cry like I put him there. Then he runs out gives me a big hug says "Sorry Mama" in the sweetest voice and proceeds to be naughty until he puts himself in timeout again.
Needless to say, timeout just isn't cutting it anymore. I'm in desperate need of ideas. What discipline tricks do you have up your sleeve?
Is there a different time out spot you can put him in? Idk he probably really isn't even understanding what's going on with the time out other than he knows the routine. Maybe just explain to him what he did wrong? Man I'm bad at this stuff because what the heck does an almost 2 yr old know? I'll be lost when I get there lol. Good job at trying though!
ReplyDeleteWe have tried different spots and I always explain before and after what he did wrong. He knows he is being naughty, so the problem is he just doesn't care! He sure gives me a run for my money! Just you wait ;)
ReplyDeleteOh man! That's a tough one. No advice, but please share when you find something that works!!

Ha, ha, ha. That is one funny little guy.
ReplyDeleteFind out what's important to him and go with that. If you do this Mommy is going to put ___toy away until tomorrow or no cartoons or something like that maybe.
