Oh boy...I am so in your boat as well. I've just kept trudging along with the consequence/time-out. But wow does it make for an exhausting day. I do find that the behaviours escalate if it's been a few rainy days in a row and they haven't had as much outdoor play as they like...or they're bored, or sick, or sleep deprived. Some things that work for me...random circle times/storytime just to get them collected, focused and CALM. Really helps them to get in check and me to have a moment to recharge. Or changing around the playspace, or to just put the music on loud and dance!!!
