Even though he's very sorry afterward, and says things like "Brother sad!" He just has a hard time registering that thought BEFORE he kicks, pushes, etc.ADRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18334800524772005750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395224961850495595.post-8172982308185901062009-10-24T23:48:17.384-04:002009-10-24T23:48:17.384-04:00We're exploring this for the first time, at al...We're exploring this for the first time, at almost 3 years old... and I'm still trying to decide on a plan. The only issues that have come up to this point have been things that she gets scolded for and then she says she's sorry and that's it. She is not a repeat offender. :o) <br /><br />I'm not a fan of time-out, not against in general--like I think it's bad or anything, just haven't seen positive results with it in any kid I've known personally, and I don't think it would make the slightest impression on mine anyway. (Sit in a chair? Sure, no prob. As long as you like...she wouldn't mind at all. She loves her quiet time.) And we've never really had any kind of issues to discipline, but now she's getting a bit of an attitude and I'm not sure how we're going to address it. I'll be interested to see what others say.RKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259757888643034394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395224961850495595.post-61414206777299470062009-10-24T23:46:11.741-04:002009-10-24T23:46:11.741-04:00I think its a little bit of both.

I think she may be to young, but also DS kids only know to love and she may have understood what you said to her.Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.com
