Re: "The tent idea is different to me ! I'm not sure if I would personally do a time out like that"

I actually use the tent as a place for them to escape/chill out (by their choice) any time in the day...a quiet spot, 1 at a time...no toys allowed in. Often there's a little one in there quietly reading. For actual time out as a result of bad behaviors, that's in a different spot (the bottom step of my basement playroom stairs).
