[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s a bad behavior they are knowingly doing — drawing on the wall with crayons after you’ve told them three times they are only used on paper, or throwing food at the table — can you introduce a consequence. I would continue to try Time out, but make it totally not fun. They have to sit on the bottom step or by themselves in their room for five minutes. If that doesn’t click, you can put a favorite toy or stuffed animal and to time out. We have had luck with that. You can also give them warnings in time to correct behavior in a different, tangible (after warnings) way — not reading a story before bed, not permitted to watch a show etc.[/quote]

Omg, no. Do not leave a 2.5 year old alone by herself for 5 minutes. It is, for one, a completely unrelated consequence (coloring with crayons on wall = crayons get taken away, that is a related and immediate consequence that make sense). And secondly, it won't help her learn anything. She will just sit there being mad at her parents and not work through her emotions. 2.5 year olds are NOT capable of learning that by themselves.
