[quote=Anonymous]What is he supposed to be doing during this quiet time?

How long is it?

Stop the rewards and taking away toys.

Make sure he is fed.

In the mornings wear him out.

I used to have a high energy toddler and after lunch and getting her big brother on the bus we would walk around the neighborhood ( no stroller for her) run around the yard  etc.In cold weather we ran in place did jumping jacks or went to an indoor play gym.

Then read stories quiet stories.

Tell him it is quiet time at quiet time  we do not scream etc.

If he is supposed to stay in his bed get him some soft music to listen to .
When the music stops he can get up.

If he talks remind him verbally once it is quiet time.

The hard part do not respond to further screams verbally or with eye contact.

If he gets out of bed no talking back in bed.
Remain calm.
Also important be consistent with rest time same time every day and I would move the time to 15 to 30 minutes before you usually put him to bed it seems part of the issue is he is over tired[/quote]
