Oh my goodness, thank you all so much for your advice! . I truly balled my eyes out most of the evening (time of the month makes me more emotional too). I just felt like I was doing something wrong, and I don't want to label by own son as the "bad boy". He is well beyond his 4 yrs in pre-school type lessons, and not just because I teach him things, but he is truly wanting to know everything about everything! He is highy exhausting as a result. So yes he wears me out.

There is some great tips from so many of you. Thank you!

With time outs he sits in the same chair and place as any other dck, and I will let him watch tv sometimes upstairs for nap/quiet time because he doesn't always need a nap.

My biggest concern is the preception or example the other kids see because if he is always in a time out, I don't want them to act out and have a room full of caos. Is that crazy?
