You stopped by my next of the wwwoods with the ubp, and I'm finally returning the favor! :) What a fun blog!<br />I had to laugh when I saw you've talked with Lazy. Me too! Love her. A little extreme, maybe, but love her anyway.<br /><br />So - yeah! Timeouts are great for that age. I know it seems little, and might seem at first like they don't get it. They will, though. Toddlers are smart, smart, smart little animals, and they'll conform eventually. Especially if you're:<br />a) consistant.<br />b) only save it for the "important" stuff.<br />c) give her lots of loves and attention throughout the day.<br />d) use your good mommy-intuition judgement.<br /><br />That said, parenting toddlers can be rough! Good luck!!!<br /><br />PS: Just be glad she's not biting. ;)AnitaNaphttp://mrs.smith.smithfam.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078436830350437186.post-16912394284436175392010-04-18T16:42:41.972-07:002010-04-18T16:42:41.972-07:00This is most definitely a phase, we've gone th...This is most definitely a phase, we've gone through it with both of our children.<br /><br />We have tried time outs and although they are difficult (we sit our son on the bottom step of our stairs, so we have to stand there to make sure he doesn't get up), it does seem to work after MANY time outs!<br /><br />The hitting, I believe, is a control thing. They don't have the words yet to explain what they want or why they are frustrated, so their natural instinct is to resort to hitting. Don't worry, it truly has nothing to do with what you or your hubby are doing.<br /><br />Good luck and let us know how it goes!Multi-tasking Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379488091050026867noreply@blogger.com
