[quote=Anonymous]These are different issues you are talking about. Letting children do anything (eat what they want, use the iPad all day, etc) has nothing to do with time outs and other methods of discipline. If you were a good nanny you would also know that different methods work on different children.

For my DS timeouts work very well. You don't use a timeout though if he's having a tantrum because he wants something he can't have. At least for my DS that wouldn't work. We don't give in to his tantrum either though.

I get what you are saying about parents giving in to children too frequently. I think often parents do take the easy way out and give in to whatever they want to avoid tantrums. But you are confusing 2 separate issues. As I said, we use timeouts very effectively with our DS but entirely separate from that he isn't allowed to use the iPad except for very occasionally (same goes for TV) and he doesn't get to dictate what we eat for meals either because we established good eating habits early on.
