[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 132342, member: 2423"] I personally have never liked the 1-2-3 approach because it never worked for my kids. It also involved a more authoritarian approach (just not my style) rather than a collaborative problem-solving approach. If "The Explosive Child" method was working in your household, why not stick with it? No discipline method should make your life and your son's life more miserable. I use timeout as a cooling-off period when behaviors become unsafe. It is not punitive and it is not a set amount of time. Whenever the child becomes destructive to property, self or others, that is when a timeout is used. When the child feels calm and ready to return to the family, he can come out. I've even been known to give myself a timeout when I feel out-of-control and don't want to take my anger out on the kids. This method models for the kids a way to self-soothe when the going gets rough. I'm not sure I'd go back to this psychologist if he's not helping. [/QUOTE]
