@bratbustersparenting: Is timeout effective for a toddler? ▶️ P.S. Want to know more about how I approach parenting toddlers as a calm leader?

we tell our 2yo "if you're going to scream you can do it in your room, as soon as you're done you can come out" he will run to his room, slam the door and scream then come back a totally different kid of his own free will. Not a time out, just a cause and effect

I’m gonna be honest I would love sit in a corner for 5 minutes at work and be left alone but that’s not your point lol

What happens if they aren’t doing anything fun? What do you take away or take them away from? My daughter when she has finished her food will throw the spoon/fork across the room often hitting fragile things. Where do you remover her to?

How is "removing them from the fun" different than Timeout?

If I try to take the toy from him, or make him sit without the toy it’s impossible, he just scrambles about or tries to get it back. So I’ve ended up putting him out of the room to ‘remove him from the fun’. So now I’m not sure what to do?

I disagree. .. they can calm down away from the problem … time out is good for adults too … just walk away and breathe …

I have a 2 year old. I use it more for when she can’t calm down and nothing I’m doing is helping her calm down. I tell her she can go to timeout in her room until she’s ready to calm down. Usually I wait a couple minutes then I’ll go in and hug her. Typically, approaching her that way works, but sometimes she just has to chill out on her own. Is this wrong? Should I be doing something different?? Genuinely asking for advice because we are in our meltdowns era

If I remove the fund from him, he will start messing with stuff in the house, so how does it make sense to remove a toy when that’s his entertainment?

I didn't use time out or any other punishment (or rewards) with my kids. It's totally unnecessary.

I use time out as a way for my toddler to calm down. when I tell him no, he starts a tantrum so I put him down on a chair, sit with him and count to 60. usually he stops crying and calms down and I can tell him what he's doing is dangerous or whatever it is at that moment of why he couldn't do it.

💯 ❗️my 2 year old was struggling with biting at her old daycare for months. the only thing they did was put her in timeout. at her new daycare. they immediately addressed the behavior, redirected her, and she only bit that ONE time- we’ve been here for 4 weeks now with no other biting incidents ❤️

What about in a playgroup/daycare setting where they’re surrounded by peers encouraging the behavior/other toys as options? For example I have a toddler in my daycare who goes from one behavior (banging toys, climbing) to the next (spitting,kicking, throwing, shouting) what’s your recommendation in that case? He’s usually receptive to time out and a conversation about choices but behaviors continue
