Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 , I liked Caroline's suggestions. I don't have much else to add. We still do a lot of hand holding as well and you just can't take your eyes off of them. They are fast and quiet. It scares me too when tries to run off. On a similar but diff. note, my folks were here visiting for two weeks. Sometimes would go upstairs or so somewhere and grandpa would call out for her to come back or say something. She just usually doesn't. You have to physically go and get her and many times take her by the hand. Sitting on your butt in another room and hollering at her doesn't work. Many people don't understand that. We could threaten our other two with consequences and get them to come immediately, but still might not. You can't threaten by using it in the form of a question such as "Do you want to sit in time out?" She'd say yes. Every time!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 A funny memory just came to mind... when my daughter was around 6, she used to put herself in time out -- she'd actually sit on the stairs (our "time out spot") and start counting! She also used to tell the teacher to send her to the principal's office. OK, it's not SO funny..."Tiernan, Kay M" wrote: , I liked Caroline's suggestions. I don't have much else to add.
