[QUOTE="wethreepeeps, post: 16283, member: 3436"] [ QUOTE ] I noted that time outs for your difficult child result in worse behaviors. I've had to turn time outs into time ins. This would be having my difficult child at my side for a period of time. It's very calming for the tweedles to have a time in. I'm there to redirect, a physical presence & to reassure that I still love them even though they made poor choices. Again, I'm sorry that your difficult child is so very challenging at this point in time. [/ QUOTE ] I'm always in the room when he's in time out. Heck, I'm always in the room with him. I can't leave him alone. He eats non food items, he steals from around the house, urinates on the bed, and draws on the walls. I share a bedroom with him because I had to turn my bedroom into a storage area for everything breakable in the house, and anything metal after he said he was going to put a fork in the microwave so it would blow up and burn the house down.

I don't know if it's time in, per se, but I have had him sit next to me when he's out of control and it's just a game to him, to keep my attention on redirecting him becuase he refuses to sit, or he'll urinate, or rock back and forth and babble, or curl into a fetal position, or pick lint off the rug and eat it ::rolls eyes:: [/QUOTE]
