[quote=Anonymous]I don’t like time-outs but nothing else is working.  I’ve reserved the time out for when Our 2 yr/10 month old hits the baby or endangers her in some way.  I’ve been speaking very sternly and sending him to his room where he just sits in his chair.  I started doing it because I feel such anger at him hurting her but it also seems to be good for him.  Then we talk about what happened and he loses whatever he was playing with when the altercation happened for the day.

Please do not tell me he isn’t getting enough attention!  I’m off work and have been since covid hit and we have a wonderful and engaged nanny.  And DH is still working from home so he’s available and playing with our son all but 8 hours a day.  DS has someone’s attention all the time.

I’m at my wits end.  He cannot hit or hurt the baby or anyone.  He’s starting preschool in a couple weeks and I don’t know if that will help this behavior.

Anything else I can do?  How long should he be in time-out? Thank you.   [/quote]
