Childcare resource center recommends to not use timeouts or 123 magic, etc. Talk to your kid that it's ok to be sad, be angry. Let them to calm down in a safe space Timeouts is punishment. It shrinks the brain like smoke |
Tell them it is OK to throw toys in the mirror. Tell them it is OK to bite their sister. Tell them it is OK to throw a plate on the floor. Tell them it is OK to scream to get things. Yeah, no time outs. You sound a bit weird, PP |
No they're not and no they don't. |
No, they don't. Did you actually hear that somewhere, or are you just spreading information? You're probably just a troll. But if you're not, the only thing I can think of is that you're very confused about the difference between timeouts and seclusion. They're very, very different. |
Wait, what?? My teenager still complies with 123 magic! |
That's because you shrunk her brain! /s |
Timeouts are not permitted in Maryland and Virginia. Says the child care resource centers that gives licences to daycare providers, center directors and any childcare educational establishment Let the kid cry. Nobody can calm a kid. Just like adults, they need to cry and will calm down eventually Talk to your kid, be angry but not act on it. Come play when you're calm. I say it in Spanish. Acknowledging their feeling is not giving them stuff or spoiling them. Sometimes we need a quiet calm space to calm down |
Timeouts is punishment.
123 magic is treating the kid like an aggressor already. Anticipating it's gonna do something bad, etc. None of them are permitted in any childcare establishment |
Dicipline early to prevent chaos |
