We chose this bc it's in sight of most rooms of the house and many of the houses we spend time at have one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2452046 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 13:39:58 +0000 MrsSRS 2452046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS sits in a corner in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451985 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 10:52:31 +0000 lamariniere 2451985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By the window in our bedroom. It's completely boring there and we can see it from the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451910 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 08:12:28 +0000 hellobeeboston 2451910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451847 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 00:40:11 +0000 HLK208 2451847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: totally. When E and B have reached a certain point in a tantrum, sometimes it's more beneficial to cool down and regather in their room. I do it too it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451844 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 00:25:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 2451844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: My brothers-in-law both used the step, and it seemed to work well so we adopted it as well. I think it's more effective then putting him in his room (although when he hits a particular tantrum level we will sometimes put him in his room alone to chill out, even though we know he'll end up playing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451841 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 00:17:57 +0000 AprilFool 2451841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the stairs. If we're upstairs (rare) it's a chair we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451840 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 00:15:55 +0000 HLK208 2451840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bottom step of the stairs here too! I didn't know it was that common, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451814 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:59:20 +0000 sunny 2451814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use the bottom step of our stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451809 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:56:43 +0000 hotpink 2451809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My timeout spot is in the kitchen, just out of view of the kids playroom. I sit down and eat a piece of chocolate before returning to the chaos. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451723 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:54:13 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2451723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not thrilled with it but I've been putting him on the doormat in front of a back door we never use. It's near the bathroom and the pantry though so I feel like it's not going to be boring enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451689 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:18:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2451689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: oh I wasn't clear- she would run from a time out spot where she wasn't contained- like if I put her on a chair she would keep climbing off and it would be a game to her. The crib I put her in and walk away for a minute and she can't run after me. But again in really not sure I'm doing it right. We don't have stairs or that would be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451683 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:14:56 +0000 Tanjowen 2451683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: @Alba4: Ohhh, the stairs are a good idea! I stood him in a corner by the front door tonight and that might work, but only time will tell...</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Interesting! So far (watch him do it tomorrow, ha) he doesn't run from me, but it might happen. I was thinking about breaking out the playpen for downstairs if he starts bolting on me!</p> <p>@brownepiano: We don't keep toys in his room, but a ton of books, and he would be thrilled to be in there looking at the pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451674 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:08:15 +0000 Alba4 2451674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our stairs too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451670 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:04:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 2451670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On one of the bottom steps on our stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451653 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:44:21 +0000 brownepiano 2451653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His room. Somehow he doesn't care that it is also where he sleeps! We don't have many toys in there because he won't play anywhere he can't see me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451652 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:43:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2451652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh we use the crib because we have nowhere else really, and I didn't want to fight with her running away from wherever I put her. But I always worry it will make her hate the crib. So far it seems ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-timeout-spot#post-2451649 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:39:18 +0000 Tanjowen 2451649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have hit the terrible 2's full force the past month and starting to do timeouts. I took a small stool and put it in the corner, but he falls off it. On purpose. Grrr.</p> <p>I don't want to use places he associates with comfort, such as bed and booster seat. I'm interested to hear and get ideas from where your spot is for your LO! </p>
