[QUOTE="Auntie, post: 265265, member: 375"] I never tried to keep my child quiet in time out: it was too hard for him. 1 minute per year of age REGARDELSS of if he was fussing was the penalty. I realize that most kids can do better, but my son could not and so he was not expected to. And, he needed frequent snacks: I eventually kept a basket of snacks (crackers, fruit) on the table so that he could help himself. He was very proud that he could get his own snacks! It DOES sound like your child is inflexible, and it also sounds like he is overwhelmed. Other than that I cannot say! Heavens knows that toddlers *CAN* get overwhelmed, it is a big and sometimes frustrating world! [/QUOTE]
