[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 696326, member: 20051"] LOL no. You can't reason with a 4 year old. I've had 5 of them. It is like banging your head against a wall, you only get a headache. I agree, with kids it is find your currency. For us, when they are smaller, maybe 1st grade on down, time out worked wonders, but it had to be swift and consistent. No reasoning, no explaining, just "Tine out for yelling." (or whatever the problem is) and place them in time out 1 minute for each year of age, and time out only "counts" when they are quiet and sitting in the time out place. Of course, time out was explained beforehand. After about 2nd grade actual grounding worked better, but I think they are more able to process long term decisions at that point, they are less impulsive. When they are older we take away electronics, TV, play time with friends, etc. I remember doing time out at an amusement park. We really stuck to it LOL. [/QUOTE]
