[QUOTE="totoro, post: 96385, member: 3155"] This was close to the Time Out policy taught at K's psychiatric hospital... They however let the child know that the T/O would happen, even if it took all day, for example if your kiddo says, "No I will not go sit in the chair!" or "NO I will not take a T/O" We were taught to say, we have all day, YOU will take a T/O... when you are ready. One of the interesting things we were taught was to never use physical contact... which is hard, because it is engaging the child, especially children who are violent or ODD, BiPolar (BP) out of control, PTSD etc. They wanted the child to own the choice to take the T/O... they made a bad choice so now they have to make the choice to take the consenquence... They follow the same thought on starting the T/O when the child is calm, if child starts yelling, acting up, T/O starts over... After I would say are you ready to talk about it? We then have a dialogue about how she could have avoided this situation, what could she have done differently next time? WHat could have I done to help her? It has really helped K, they used a Love and Logic approach as well... you have to commit to this though... I K hits or throws something she is in T/O, if it takes an hour so be it, as psychiatrist explained it to us, when they are adults if they do something wrong do they get a break because they are manic or have Mental Illness? We need to teach her to use her tools and be accountable for her actions even when raging... So maybe when she is about to hit someone she will have a moment and something will click and trigger her to stop and think... Anyway that was their theory at the program, along with a bunch of other therapies... thanks Sheila [/QUOTE]
