She decided pretty quickly that it was best to just cooperate. Sari sounds like she may require more creativity.<BR/><BR/>Somehow you got Sari to cooperate with naughty > time out > yellow chair. You could explain a new system to her, and get her used to it, so that it would become just as easy as the current policy. Use a timer so she knows when the time out is over.Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1139525566584121812006-02-09T16:52:00.000-06:002006-02-09T16:52:00.000-06:00Kiwi- problem is, I can't necessarily take out the...Kiwi- problem is, I can't necessarily take out the 3 minutes to make sure she is staying in the proper time out position. I'm usually occupied with some worthy task like cooking, playing with the other kids, preventing Ada from being tortured, blogging (JK!), etc.. And wouldn't it defeat the purpose to focus all my attention on her during the time out? I admit, it's definitely a dilemma. I will say, though, that the time out sessions do serve a purpose in that it gives her a chance to cool off and gives me a chance to discuss the situation with her brother and talk about what he could have done to prevent the situation from escalating or a chance to soothe Ada, if she was the victim.Ayelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452707874685237517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1139524949168310042006-02-09T16:42:00.000-06:002006-02-09T16:42:00.000-06:00Let me tell you, Dovid was beaming with pride!Let me tell you, Dovid was beaming with pride!Ayelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452707874685237517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1139518654686529652006-02-09T14:57:00.000-06:002006-02-09T14:57:00.000-06:00Very perceptive little guy you got there.

Maybe double the time?Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.com
