Can't see much from there so it's no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-outcool-down-spot#post-2564817 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 19:39:56 +0000 ShootingStar 2564817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do timeout in a corner of the living room. I make him turn towards the walls so he has less sensory input. The one time we really need him to stop flipping out we used his room. And I had to stay there the whole time while he kept trying to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-outcool-down-spot#post-2564808 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 19:36:21 +0000 FaithFertility 2564808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 17 months I have sat down by the back wall/hall area when she continues to jump on couch!<br /> I sit her down and tell her it's not safe and turn away<br /> I don't make her sit there but she gets the point that I am upset and if she gets up I tell her to say sorry and give me. ahug, I've done this a few times works so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-outcool-down-spot#post-2564783 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 19:15:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2564783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Time out and calm down space are pretty much one and the same- her bed. We have a small two bedroom condo so there aren't a lot of options. I worried about making her bed her punishment spot but so far it's ok. It's more about how I put her there. When she really just needs to calm down I am calm, sometimes I sit quietly with her while she calms down. More often she is going crazy and I'm losing it in response and I'm yelling at her as I put her there (being honest here!). That's when she knows it's a punishment. </p> <p>I'm still working on the whole toddler discipline thing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-outcool-down-spot#post-2564775 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 19:08:53 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2564775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit my toddler in time out on tile floor against the pillar of our fireplace in the middle of the living room. I wanted to make it as uncomfortable as possible, lol. We only use time out for punishment though. We use her anywhere chair to calm down and reading books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-your-time-outcool-down-spot#post-2564762 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:59:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 2564762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do time out more so for DD to calm down than punishment (although it totally happens for that occasionally when needed!).</p> <p>I used to sit her on a chair in the hall (one story house) which worked, until my toddler was concerned and kept going up to her. Which set my preschooler off. Fun cycle.</p> <p>Then I tried her room which worked but my Mom suggested not using her 'safe space' as time out..</p> <p>So now I use my room. Sigh. I have to hold the door shut, too, because she tries to come out the entire time. </p>
