[quote=Anonymous]No. Abusive and weird. Please go watch an episode of Supernanny to learn how to give effective, appropriate time outs. Bedrooms are not an appropriate location for a timeout. You are doing way too much talking and negotiating with a 2 year old. Here’s how your example should go: Kid throws food. Parent gives one, non-angry warning that if food is thrown again meal time will be over. Kid throws food again. Parent says now meal time is over because we don’t throw food. Parent says we’ll try again later. Parent immediately puts food away and gets kid out of chair and does not discuss or negotiate. Parent waits 15-30 minutes and lets kid try again to eat if they are still hungry. Repeat as necessary.[/quote]
