[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not helpful at all. I say this as someone who thinks this is a relatively mild punishment, but it's just plain not helpful. When I was a child, I had to do the same, while holding up a phonebook above my head, being smacked every time my arms started lowering, and then left there for an hour. Just made me more resentful.[/quote] there's a big difference between what you experienced, and a 5-minute time-out where the child has to face the wall if they're talking. "nose to wall" is a cue for the child to physically know what they are supposed to do. that said, there's a lot more context we're missing. how often are the time-outs? what kind of behavior are they for? is the discipline working in general - you're seeing the child learn and display better behavior? do you have a plan for when the child grows out of time outs? (5-6 is kind of the limit IMO.) [/quote]
