[quote=Anonymous]We used time outs (nose to the wall) before the kids were old enough to be embarrassed or old enough to go to their room by themselves. Usually only if we were too busy for active redirection but needed to stop the behavior. I don't think it harmed anyone. Certainly not abusive, but also not particularly effective for a 5 yo. "Stop jumping off the couch please." "No more jumping off the couch. Why don't you go do X?" "If you jump off the couch again you will go to time out to calm down." [2 min in time out to calm down] "OK, remember we don't jump on furniture. Let's go do XX now." (Redirection)[/quote]
