Oh yes, he's a little booger at times. How I normally have been handling his usual tantrums is by completely ignoring him. I don't hold him, I don't sooth him, and I don't even acknowledge his behavior. But I do acknowledge him when his good, I always give him a clap, a good job, or a good boy when he is good....and it's true that they do respond to praise a lot more then yelling and spanking.
I hate spanking him because I feel it;s ineffective, but I have spanked him before. Always makes me feel dumb and guilty, so I avoid at all means.
Yes!!....I want a time out area so bad. My husband said to put him in the chair in the living room. I said, yeah so he can watch T.V!!....lol, yeah right, he would love time outs then. I could make him watch soaps or the advertisement channels...lol.
No but really, the main problem about time outs is not having a good place for it. I do have a couple ideas accept me eats at one of them. I don't want him to feel punished when I'm sitting him down for dinner. IDK...I think it's a great idea, and I love that Super Nanny Show, she is awesome, I love all her techniques.
