Anybody any ideas for a timeout place for a 2 year old, she’s repeatedly doing things and laughing in my face when I say no and tell her it’s naughty, I’ve put her in her cot for 10 mins but don’t want her to think her cot is a naughty place really? Any help would be great thanks x

I remember trying it when Morgan was about 18/20months maybe and it didn't work. He just didn't understand. Tried again when he was over 2yrs and he got it much quicker lol

Thank you everyone, I do g think she really understands yet, which makes it hard, but it’s something to try in the future x

I used the bottom step of the stairs. It didn't work to begin with. I did have to keep putting him back. But once he learnt what time out was he would stay put.

I use a certain corner and put him there for his timeouts. He knows to stay until he's calmed down then he comes to me and gives me a cuddle. It's usually for a minute or 2 as he will forget what's annoyed him after that lol. X

Have you looked into positive reinforcement? It's much more effective at this age, young children do not really understand right for wrong and I don't think they would understand time out as such. It a bit of work and would take a few weeks before it clicks that they get rewarded for the things you like them to do but it's a really good method of teaching them right from wrong and any now skills you want them to learn in the future xx

@chesscalouise2, nice to know someone is having the same problem lol it’s so frustrating, I think she’s just too young to understand but I feel like I can’t just let her get away with it I need to start putting something in place

That’s thing I don’t think she would stay! It would just end up being her running off and me chasing her, she’s still young I know, as she just thinks everything is a big joke

You could buy a little chair or if you have stairs sit her on the bottom step x
