    • I do that with my 18 mo, but I don't think he gets that it's a punishment.

        • i put her in a spot in our dining room against the wall. i got down on her level and said, you are in time out for XXX. i waited a minute while she stayed there and cried. then explained why she was there again and had her apologize. then give her a hug and kiss.

          • yep, i think my dd is too young for this...she would get up and run away and definitely wouldn't know how to apologize

    • no, its not recommended for pre2. Most acting out behaviors in toddlers are just a stage and will pass no matter what you do. No need to make a big deal out of them. Just No and redirect
