In your case I am not sure where I would do it (and I am very very sure we will get there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484767 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 18:42:43 +0000 brownepiano 2484767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His room. He still loves his bed and is great about bedtime and nap time and seems to know the difference. He can open his door now, but still never leaves his room till we come get him (actually he never even leaves his bed!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484737 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:54:25 +0000 stiletto_mom 2484737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the bathroom corner idea. Or bottom stairs. Maybe a "thinking chair". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484661 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:11:50 +0000 fussygal 2484661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She won't stay anywhere but her crib :bummed: I don't like creating that negative association, but it's the only thing that works for us right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484660 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:11:36 +0000 avivoca 2484660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In her Frozen chair in the hallway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484650 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:05:43 +0000 Chillybear 2484650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>on the steps and I usually stay with her (she's almost 2 1/2) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484645 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:02:40 +0000 Alba4 2484645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484620 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:51:35 +0000 Alivoo01 2484620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A corner that has no visual stimulation around him.

I usually find them reading or playing with some toys when I go get them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484568 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:07:23 +0000 looch 2484568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send my son to his room. He's been going there for almost 2 years now and he doesn't have any problems going to sleep at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484567 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:06:05 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2484567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her bed. I don't do it as punishment but when she needs to calm down (especially since her crying freaks out ds!) that's where I put her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484564 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:04:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2484564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her room. But I try to phrase time out more as a "you need to sit alone to calm yourself down" for now. But she's been a total pill lately so I probably f-ing it up anyway. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484555 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:58:01 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2484555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD isn't old enough for timeout yet but I suspect we'll do the same as my parents - facing the corner in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-out-spot-2#post-2484549 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:56:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 2484549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just curious. I try to avoid her bedroom because I don't want to create a bad association with it, so I stick her on a chair. I may move the chair to the hallway (all one-story house) instead of right in the living room/kitchen because my youngest continually tries to go up to her. </p>
