I agree wih the advice precceding this reply ......
I had " time out time " when my daughter was misbehaven
taking away fav toys just gets them madder but if they used it as a weapon it had to go
i built a chair for my daughter to sit in and she hated it ....
after a few times in there she stopped her misbehaven for the most part
if she threw a tantrum i left her there to flop on the floor
i took her to the store and told her no touch and reinforced if she didnt touch she had a better chance of getting a treat
14 years later she never ask for anything at the store unless it is a need
i have one of the best mannerd child because i was active in her upbringing and i explained things to her about the consequences ..... kids understand they know how to push the limits
