''Discipline'' the child when parents are there ?

[kidlove]

disney: i have used timeouts for certain kids, not all though! different kids different discipline, what works for some definately may not work for others, I go with the parents opinion, I have had kids start to throw a fit and had the parent say I dont mind if he/she needs a time out, I will wait....this is speaking of the kid that when put in time out, does them good and they come out of it with a dif attitude than going in. Doesnt work for all but for those that it does work for, I offer that to the parent. I have also interfered with mothers putting their kids in the car seat with the kid kicking and screaming at them, I say.."do you mind?" they respond: "by all means", I give the child the "look" tell them to sit still and get buckled! they shut up, sit still and let me buckle...the Mother stands there in disbelief, "how did you do that!" I reply with the plain and simple..." when you are in control they are not, you just have to let them know you are in control, as easy as a look".....
