I used to give time-outs to the two older boys, years ago and that was the system I used.<br /><br />With the two younger children, I didn't use them, I'm not sure why, there was no deliberate reason not to. :)mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168105868068664985.post-33837863507211078712013-09-17T14:04:45.676-07:002013-09-17T14:04:45.676-07:00It's hard.

If you threaten a time out, mean it. Anyway, good luck!ReneShonerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892141612840357867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168105868068664985.post-630242594798806472013-09-17T09:17:43.758-07:002013-09-17T09:17:43.758-07:00Wow... what a hard thing. First of all, I think ea...Wow... what a hard thing. First of all, I think each parent and child is different. I can send my daughter to time out non-stop and she doesn't care, yet I send my son and all is lost and he just breaks down, lol... I say give it a try and see what works best for you. We have started doing reward charts - so when they start screaming I remind them - "remember, if you do well today with no fits, you will get a sticker tonight and if you go all week, you get a surprise!" and that helps... Good luckAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465222107948722265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168105868068664985.post-52165420620951832802013-09-17T08:24:01.469-07:002013-09-17T08:24:01.469-07:00oh gosh girl...I have 7 children and I am having d...oh gosh girl...I have 7 children and I am having difficulty getting them to listen. The older ones get "grounded" from games and outside and the younger ones get a timeout. Nothing really seems to work lol, actually only dad works...but I am a stay at home mom and dad isnt always here...so I am just stuck. I will be reading those articles you posted above though.
