[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure from your description if this is a timeout. As toddlers, they sometimes just need a safe space to feel their emotions. Scream it out so to speak. And putting your kid in his or her room to do that isn’t what I think of as a timeout. I have a couple kids, and I will do this with the toddler because frankly it’s not fair to the rest of the house to have to deal with the tantrum. So we go up to her room. Sometimes, me being there helps. But sometimes, it doesn’t. So I have let her be in her room to just do her tantrum thing. I’m nearby. I check in frequently. But for some kids, they are better at calming themselves down alone than with a parent constantly in their face. This is to say, I didn’t see anything particularly wrong with what your DH did. But talk it out. Figure out how you want to handle these situations and be consistent. [/quote]
