Anyone Use the "Naughty Spot" Time Out Approach? Question.

I have 9 kids and I used this for all of them. We have a couch that is the initial time out zone( we need a couch because sometimes there are two or three in time out) Anyone who does not sit a quiet a time out and starts to yell or get up, moves on to the next phase of time out. They ared moved to the corner. If they cant be still and serve their time there, we have another small couch in a room of solitude. They really dont like to go to that couch, and have also learned that they dont like the corner. They now prefer the couch, and most of the time, they sit their time out without any trouble. See the thing is this...if they get moved to the corner, it lengthens their time out...they serve time there before they are ALLOWED to go back to the time out couch. Then they learn that sitting shorter on the time out couch is better and shorter for them, and they behave on the couch the first time.

Keep up the hard work. Just be consitent. And dont worry about explaining too much what they did wrong. They generally know. At 2/12 they are smart enough to know what you allow and dont allow. Just remember, they are not little adults and cannot be reasoned with. They are simply little wild animals who need to be trained LOLOL

my daughter is 3 and does the same thing. I don't think it will ever work again. I could spend my entire day putting her back on but she thinks it is a game. I also have tried doing the bedroom technique, where i just shut her in her room and stand outside the door for 3 minutes. She gets really mad and starts kicking the door, but sometimes it does work. I just tell her what she did wrong before and after with a stern voice and I tell her if she does it again, she will come back to her room. But it may be only time before she laughs that off too. I am having alot of trouble with her lately. She has a little sister who is 1 and so i think there is some jealousy there. She likes to hit her 1-year-old sister and push her if she tries to get a toy from her or tries to play with her. It is killing me.

Don't say a thing to her, but keep putting her on the bench until the time out time is up.
this is now her "game" and you have to make sure she is getting the fact that this a punishment, not fun and games.

change the spot to the steps. My son goes on the naughty step for acting up

I did the same for my son and he wouldn't sit but now I just make him stand in the corner. That works for him... Try something different until it works for her... Hope it works for you

We have a 4 year old daughter. I tried the naughty spot and she too would just wiggle around and move the chair. We now have her stand in the corner for 4 minutes. She hates it..it is to the point now where we just have to mention it and she is an angel!!! LOL

Whatever you do, keep putting her on there until she sits there for 2.5 minutes.

Also, do not talk to her until her time is up. Make sure she gets put back on her bench firmly but not hard.

Keep it up, you are doing great!

My son did the same thing. We moved his naughty chair to another corner of his toy room, away from everything else. When that stopped working, we made him sit facing the corner. I set the timer on my microwave so he knows exactly when he can get up (I also make him tell me what he did wrong and why he isn't allowed to do it...he's a pretty advanced 2 almost 3 year old). I would just keep moving her around. We have a different naughty area depending on where in the house it is. Sometimes its on his bed, sometimes a chair in my office, sometimes the kitchen chair. He's to the point now where he puts himself in time out. :-) Just keep with it and keep returning her to her spot. Don't say a word to her. It is frustrating, but eventually she will get the point.
