On a side note, Miri is old enough now (almost 2) that she really understands, so when Tina asks her if she needs a timeout she thinks about her answer. Sometimes she chooses to be good and says "no" and stops, but sometimes she decides a timeout is worth it, and she answers "yes" and continues to be naughtly until Tina literally removes her from the situation into the crib :) I can see Maeve doing that, hahaha<BR/><BR/>Sooo, this was a super long post, so I'll stop, but I hope you enjoy my "motherly" advice.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365001738708671374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622282368607302605.post-91317246454853699582008-12-06T20:14:00.000-08:002008-12-06T20:14:00.000-08:00So I'm not a mom, but after spending 5 weeks livin...So I'm not a mom, but after spending 5 weeks living with my 16 month niece, I know that timeouts work well. Tina's theory is if they're old enough to intentionally disobey and act out (ie Maeve laughing at you and not listening even though you know she understands "no"), then they're old enough to have a timeout. Since they are too young to sit in a timeout without moving, Tina warns her to stop or it's a timeout and then if she continues, puts her in a pack-n-play or crib without any toys just for a few minutes. If she acts up in her high chair while they're eating, again, she gets a warning and then they turn her around in her high chair so that she's facing away from the table just for a few minutes. It may seem harsh, but like I said, I saw first hand that it works. Good luck...I can see that you have your hands full from that ohhh so cute but mishchievous look from Maeve you posted on Facebook :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365001738708671374noreply@blogger.com
