lol I just ignore
Try the book how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk. I think there is one for young kids too.
I do time outs as well. I do it for only 3 minutes and the chair is in the same room I’m in. I’ve heard good things about Bratbustersparenting on Instagram. She has a program and some people have told me it’s worked well for them. I’ve considered signing up for it myself. She’s all about parenting through leadership instead of gentle or not gentle parenting.
we also do time outs for our 3.5 year old girl. to us timeouts are not because of bad behavior but to help her “reset” we do 3 minutes at a time & we have two different time out areas. her room is the place we do first if she needs to calm down but is not displaying bad behavior (aka if she’s frustrated and having a hard time communicating because of her emotions) or the second time out space is sitting at the kitchen table & we use that space for if she’s not listening/displaying bad behaviors! it helps her separate the difference between the two!!
We do timeouts. Nothing else worked with us, we only put him in timeout for a minute or so but it’s been the only effective thing
