Time out?

[Dreamalittledream]

Honestly, the only time I've resorted to time out is with my own son (and that seems to be about 10 times a day lately!)...the rest are, in general, very well behaved and easily redirected. And with my son, I've actually had to resort to putting him in one of my booster chairs & 'locking him in' (not really, he can easily get out on his own) with the booster tray & setting the timer. If not, as soon as my head is turned he is off the time out chair.

Same here! My own daughter is my "issue" LOL TODAY alone she was on the stairs about 6 times! She's tests me to NO end while the others just need a firm "Johnny!" and they know I mean business!

kids are kids. We know them to be playful and have a lot of energy. They can sometimes be stubborn and have tantrums but it's normal. I tend to discipline them and give them time to play and have a rest. I make sure they are manageable and understand that not all the time, they can do and have what they want.
