[QUOTE="witzend, post: 80588, member: 99"] in my humble opinion, an hour is too long. The goal is to get the meltdown to stop. If he's in his room for five minutes, calms down and moves on, can he come out? A five year old really can not understand an hour. it's difficult to get them to behave for an hour even when they are doing something they like. They can understand three or five minutes. Set a timer and tell him it starts when he disengages for say three minutes, and that he doesn't get to re-engage when he comes out. [/QUOTE]
