If we take something away..he screams at us until we are mentally worn down. We've tried taken a dollar out of his allowance to which it doesn't matter to him. He is eight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-9678179229322022452012-07-03T08:49:44.933-07:002012-07-03T08:49:44.933-07:00We had a rule of 5 minutes of silence in time out,...We had a rule of 5 minutes of silence in time out, and time doesn't start until you're quiet. If you make noise during the 5 minutes, time restarts. As soon as you can be quiet in time out for 5 minutes it's over, and you can go back to whatever you want. Tyler hated time outs (whether being spent in a corner or in his room didn't matter, he hated them both equally) and being quiet was hard for him. Since he did not enjoy the time outs we found them to be quite effective. He'd not want to end up in a time out twice in one day, and he never did. In fact, he rarely would mess up enough to get in time out twice in one week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
