What should we do for time- out when the kids are bad?

Question

We have tryed every thing from face the wall to coners toStand with your hands in the air above your head we have tryed getting them to sit in a chair and go to there room nothing is working what should we do?? When they are bad nothing seems to work what should we do?

Answer 1

Give them a timer tell them to sit next to a wall and don't get up and repeatly do this and reset the timer each time they get up, they will eventually get tired of having to sit there longer and longer. Never send a child to his room for time out, they have all their things in there to mess with. It just takes time to get them to understand what time out is, and that they don't like being there. good luck.

Answer 2

a good ol' spanking.

seriously. im 17, i got spanked when i was a kid when i did something wrong. and i have to say, i NEVER did anything bad after that.

and i think its safe to say i wasn't tramautized by it....=.=

seriously people, spanking a kid ISNT beating them. geez.

Answer 3

If the child gets up from the timeout, then I suggest a spanking. My girls know if they get up from their timeout, then I will spank them. I usually give them three firm swats on their bottom if they get up. it works, they more than likely wont get up if they know they wil get a spanking.

Answer 4

Sit them on the bottom stair, we call it a (naughty step), But if they keep on getting back up, say you are going to take one toy off them each time they do something bad (i.e their favorite toy first).

Then take the toy and place it where they can not get it , Use a box! And when they do something good give them one toy out of the box and say 'every time you are good you get one toy out of that box.' And then they finally get the process of being good and not bad!

Answer 5

Try creating a naughty chair, something like a bean bag. Put that in one place and don't move it. If you keep moving it then they aren't going to know where the one naughty bean bag is. If they are six, then sit them there for six minutes, if they're 3 then 3 minutes etc..try getting a timer and setting it so they know when they can come off.

Good luck!!

check out 1-2-3 magic from your local library. If your consistent it does work magic.

Answer 7

Forget the time out and smack their Butt! That will get the message through!

Answer 8

Have you tried sitting down with them & talking to them about how their decision negatively affected themselves or others; talked to them about what lead to that decision on their part; talked to them about whether they were happy with that decision & whether they'd like to try to change; then helped them brainstorm & implement ways that they can change?

Answer 9

Well i dont know your points of view on spanking kids. From what i learned kids are like adults they are all different and respond to different tatics. My cousins for example were close in age and boys so they fought with eachother alot. Sam could do a spanking no problem but hated time out now adamn was quiet so time out was just quite time for him but if you spank him oh he hated that. Let the punishment fit the crime also my aunt only spank when they did something really bad but not once did ethier of them get tramized for it they just knew ok i cant do this. My grandmother got all the sugar kids ceral for us and they never got much of that at home so going to grandma's and getting that was a treat. But if they fought one to many times then my aunt wouldnt let them have that when they went there even if us other kids had some and they wanted it she said no remember when you fought with eachother well this is what happends when you dont listin. Hope this helps you good luck
