    time out

    I am happy to report that our educational methods are starting to bear fruit.
    When Neevie gets frustrated, she has a nasty habit of doing a kind of "grab-and-bite" manoeuvre, very painful and not at all ladylike.
    So, when she does that, like a kid, she goes in time out. We pick her up without a word and just put her in another room till she stops sulking. (we know it when she stops, that's when she starts trying to get out) Always in the same place.
    This morning, she did her usual grab and bite - but then she went in time out all by herself. If that isn't result, I don't know what it is!!

    That sounds exactly like our China RIP but got us the best results,you wait until Neevie not only puts herself away but then turns round & pops her head out of the door as much as to say "Yes,now what" & if you can stop yourself from laughing you will have done better than i ever did...at least she is on the way now to not even needing the naughty room....xxx

    That is so funny! I will have to try that with Ginger, she is teething and she loves to chew on my fingers. I have tried putting her down but she loves to bite! I am afraid my naughty little monster would be in timeout all day!!! Most of the morning and most of the night! She is so spunky in the morning, she eats, poops, plays dog food hockey in the kitchen. Then it is time to go pull some leaves of mommy's plants. Her new trick is as soon as we turn out the lights and T.V., she goes and hides under our bed because we shut the door at night. Gotta run Ginger is getting into mischief!
