[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to make her room safe for time outs. You could use 123 magic or another thing. The timeout isn’t a “punishment” it’s help calming down and regaining control. So the room needs to be a padded cell, basically, so you don’t have to intervene. I would offer stuffies and maybe a cozy chair as a “calm down” corner. Short term it’s more work for you but long term it will help. The big red flag is your DH “losing it” about the guitars. Adults should not “lose it” with children. We get frustrated and make mistakes, but there’s never an excuse for “losing it.” I think people use that term to try not normalize or excuse behavior that is not normal or excusable no matter how mad you are. Frankly given your situation with your DD, the guitars should be put away. Does that suck for him? Of course it does! There’s nothing fair about parenting. I also like the book “parenting with love and logic.” Some of it is weird or useless but a lot of it is great. [/quote]
