[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes used timeouts to help ME control my temper. I had a baby when my older was 2.5 and she would often do naughty things so that I would stop nursing or diapering the baby and pay attention to her (and I was a SAH mom at the time, one who played with her, dolls, play doh, etc, so she was getting plenty of one on one attention at the time). At my most sleep deprived, I would get really upset when she did it and no amount of time ins (tried them!) helped, so sometimes I would put her in her crib so that I wouldn’t yell at her, I had 2 minutes to calm myself so we could figure things out. She’s a teen now and we are very very close; so I don’t believe this tactic was at all harmful.[/quote]
