[QUOTE="SRL, post: 132365, member: 701"] I rarely use consquences and rely almost entirely on TEC. Time outs rarely work on destructive behavior for my difficult child either so we find another way. Think outside the box for your situation. Sometimes we leave my difficult child where he is and leave the room. Often we'll pack him up in the car and get out of here. Or maybe leave with older brother if the two of them are going at it. Punishments don't work well so what I'm really after is a cool down time and distraction to get his mind unstuck from the anger. I also wouldn't put namecalling in Basket A. I might verbally make a comment but not punish for it, especially if I were just learning the ropes or if the child's behavior was heightened. This is stuff you can work on later and not worth a battle. The Early Childhood board has an article about adapting TEC to younger children which might be helpful to you. [/QUOTE]
