[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds insane to me. I do timeouts, but they're in the kid's room and they can come out whenever they want as long as they are ready to be calm and kind. It's intended as an emotional reset, not some sort of ritualistic humiliation. [/quote] My mom used to do this to me. She was an abusive horror, and this was nothing in the grand scheme. But you know what, op? It still sucked. It didn’t help me calm down. It was a power move: “look, kid, I can make you put your nose against a wall for hours.” If you do this, you suck too. [/quote] As OP stated, it's no more than 5 minutes. Not hours. Any form of discipline can be abusive, as your mother proved. 5 minutes is not abusive.[/quote]
