DCB refuses to sit for timeout

[5 Little Monkeys]

When they're young or new with me, I do what I call a "time away". If they're misbehaving they are removed from that situation and put in a new one. If the behaviour continues than they get a time out. It's just on the floor in the hallway or beside me if we're outside or on an outing. They can either sit or stand, doesn't matter to me.

Some children don't do well with time outs though and for those ones, I've had to find something that was special to them and use it. For one, it was sitting in a pink chair instead of green at the table. If she misbehaved, she had to sit on a green chair for snack/lunch/art etc. Currently, I have a boy that will loose his blanket at nap (he gets a dc one instead) if he misbehaves. I find these SO much harder to do than a timeout because I feel like a big meanie but timeouts just don't get the same result for them as others

Good luck!! Be firm and consistent and he will most likely learn to stay on timeout....but if not, try another technique
