I saw on the post below about throwing food that you used time outs. When did you feel like your LO was old enough to understand what a time out was? I am not sure DS is quite big enough to understand. Also, where do you have time out? Our pedi suggested using his crib but I think his crib should be associated only with sleep and as a happy safe place he WANTS to be. Just curious on your thoughts about time outs and do they work for you? How do you implement them?

Re: Speaking of Time Outs---
we've done one so far.
We did it in her crib, with all of the lights on, because like you I don't want bad associations. But I figure it's always dark in there when she is sleeping .
She didn't have an issues after that one time
We've been doing them for about a month, A has a bean-bag in his room next to his book shelf and that's where he sits. We do the supernanny thing with a warning, putting him in Time Out, waiting like 30-45 secs and then going to get him out, and telling him again why he was put there, which is usually a big back-fire because when he hears "time-out" he immediately starts screaming again.
We're working on it
