[QUOTE="klmno, post: 320342, member: 3699"] Let me clarify, WO- the "time out" we use here is for both difficult child and I. I visualize my son being married someday and getting into a heated argument. No matter who is right or who is wrong, they need to know how to de-escalate things before it turns to violence. Therefore, my idea is that BOTH people take a few minutes- or two days- or whatever, to get emotions in tact and head back into control. Also, even though I'm the parent and this is not an "equal" relationship with difficult child like a marriage would be, I figure he's more likely to participate in this plan if he sees us both doing it- he sees it as an adult coping skill, not a "difficult child treatment".
