Time out?

I would 100% recommend time out but not in bedroom as when it comes to bedtime she will think it’s because she has been naughty I brought a pop up cot and we use it for time outs only and it works wonders as he knows that this is the area of naughty behaviour and it’s a secure safe space as he would hit his head on things to get my attention in the cot he can’t do that x

Bratbustersparenting on instagram is a page I highly recommend following. Her tips&tricks are so insightful and age appropriate. I did a parenting course recently that suggested techniques have moved on from time outs, but I didnt agree with not teaching accountability or teaching a child to apologise. So its really about finding the right balance of discipline that works for your child x

It's not too early at all. I also wouldn't recommend time outs in the bedroom, at least not at this age. I sit my little one on a time-out spot on the floor n keep putting her bk if she gets up. Eventually, she does stay n does her time 😅 but it's a challenge x

Thanks for the advice guys, didn’t think about the whole bedroom situation, tbf her rooms full of toys so would probably only distract her into playing anyway 😂 we definitely are going to start something as it’s getting so bad, I’m also 27 weeks pregnant so the smacking,kicking etc isn’t ideal 😢 and quite frankly really upsets me! Thanks for your advice 🩷

I think it's too early to use time out. We use 'Time in' where they come beside you and you try to explain. And show them how to emotionally regulate. Full melt down is normal for toddlers. We pull them into a tight hug and rock them while gently singing or humming a nursery rhythm they may know. At first they may resist and want to break loose from the hug you keep soothing them until they calm down.

@Hannah that link oh god woman is amazing thank you 🤩
