He smacked me in the face when I told him no. So he stood in timeout for a full two minutes. Usually…

Oh my! Poor baby!

@skymomof4, he's actually pretty good about it, weirdly. He stays there until the time is up, usually pretty quiet but sometimes he does his fake wail.

@tinyhumansbitch, I have no idea!!! Maybe because he doesn't get timeout often so when he does he knows he's been bad? I used to have to keep turning him back to face the wall but a few months ago he started just staying 🤷‍♀️

@nomli Time out is one of the only things that sort of works for my son, I've tried everything else and he's usually pretty good too. I don't put him in the corner but I make him sit in the glider until I think he's ready to get up. I don't have a time limit, he's there for however long I think it takes for him to get the idea.

Jealous that he’ll stay😩 mines not having it. Ughh

When I babysat, I would sit them in for the amount of minutes their age was when they were young . Like if a ten year old was acting up I would obviously not give them just a 10 minute punishment . But your son is almost 2 so good job! They need to learn!

@briannalynn547, that's what his doctor said! A minute for every year. But true, once they get to a certain age the minute thing won't cut it. He'll be two on Monday so I figured three days wouldn't matter.

Wait he’s 2??

I thought he was older lol

@elenaofavalor, haha, yes. He'll be two in a few days.

@nomli, agreed ! Lol

@nomli, I put my son time out yesterday for 5 minutes, before it was 1 or 2 but each day he getting worse Idk Wut to with him

My daughter use to scream bloody murder help me when I put her in time out. She had the neighbors knock on the door asking if everything was alright.

@roguemommyofjx3, oh gosh, I'm so worried about that!
