[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 132369, member: 1161"] With a child who can throw a 2 hour meltdown including head banging and wall breaking, timeouts are a laugh. They never worked for us. The approaches in The Explosive Child worked much better and did a lot to head off any of those meltdowns. It also taught me which were the things to really stress, and to let the small things go as not worth the aggravation. Now the big things are under control, and he's actually doing lots of the small things on his own. I will send the kids to their rooms (or me to mine LOL) when we haven't caught things in advance and we all end up in a yelling meltdown. There's no time limit, whenever everyone has calmed down we come back out, and usually are able to talk it over sensibly then. [/QUOTE]
