[quote=Anonymous]Make the time-outs longer. This "one minute for year of age" is completely arbitrary and not based on anything. I leave my kids in time-out until they calm down and can speak in a rational way. Then we talk (without judgement) about what happened. My four-year-old would repeat over and over again "But I want_____" and I would say "I know that you want ______ but you cannot have it now because..." about three times, with a warning of the last time it was going to be explained and then time out. It would make me laugh to myself when he would hear me tell him for the last time and then, still screaming and crying, walk to the time-out chair himself![/quote]
