[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 93241, member: 2325"] Hey Suzie, I hear what you're saying, but I should have explained better. I have 2 forms of time-out. #1 - Timeout - go to play room by yourself for quiet time or to calm down until bell rings. #2 - Grounding - go to 'bedroom'. No toys, to tv, nothing. Go there to REALLY calm down and for quiet time, and for a consequence to whatever they did until bell rings. So, mostly 4yr old easy child goes into 'timeout-playroom'. Alot of times he stays there "longer" then the time told, because he plays great by myself and I guess he starts to enjoy the alone time (just a guess). difficult child usually has a "transition" problem going to either room, but then he also plays good by himself after calming down. I use a kitchen timer, so they hear when the bell rings. If they have to go to the bathroom, or something, before the bell rings they know to knock on the door I will respond and give permission to leave the room, but they go back until the bell rings. This is what they did at the hospital difficult child was in last year, so we kept it as part of the routine. Oh, I'll look into that 'love and logic' book. [/QUOTE]
