[quote=Anonymous]2.5 DS is driving us crazy over the long holiday break. Constantly boundary testing and fighting everything (getting dressed, diaper changes, stopping destructive behavior). He's verbal enough that we know he understands what he's doing is wrong/not allowed, but he's just keeps at it to get a reaction out of us. DH threatened timeout and the following conversation ensues: DS: What is timeout dada? DH: we lock you in your room for 5 minutes and you're not going to like it. DS: can I be loud in my room? DH: .....yes.. DS: can i be really loud? DH: yes DS: I go to timeout! DH suggested locking him in a closet so it's dark and he's scared (for a few minutes) so he's actually incentivized to avoid it as a punishment. Thoughts? [/quote]
