[QUOTE="SRL, post: 124418, member: 701"] I can't say as I've ever heard this particular problem before, but hey, I'm flexible. :peaceful: I think he's discovered the secret: the bathroom makes a really good place for hiding out and chillin', away from the demands of rest of the world. When I had 3 kids 5 and under I used to head in there around 4pm every day just to get away from it all. I'm just venturing a guess here but given everything you've described about your little darlin', I'm kind of wondering if he's just having a good time--enjoying life and the things around him--and in no particular rush.... but and all the grown-ups have places for him to go, things for him to do, and people he has to see. Big mean grownups are always cramping his style. Most of the time I'd just let this go, but I know there are times like bedtime and leaving the house where you don't have a choice. Where I see that you could have adjusted in your plan was to go at the timer a bit differently. Instead of delivering the timer and announcing how long he had to play, try involving him in the decision of how long and even in setting the time. Bring in a different timer next time so seeing the one that caused this ruckus doesn't automatically trigger another one. I'd also recommend stopping the timer when he's already complied. [/QUOTE]
