Time Outs?!

missyisheremissyishere member
in October 2011 Moms
I see on parenting people discussing TOs, and a fee stating they started at around 15 months. It has never even crossed my mind at this stage. Nora can be crabby from time to time, but it usually means she needs to sleep or she's just a teething monster. Am I alone in this? I mean we redirect when she's getting into something she's not suppose to, but I don't ever take any of her behavior as disciplinary necessary.

    I think we might need to start implementing it sometime soon.  Friends of ours started using 1 minute time outs for their daughter last summer when she was about 18 months old.  She kept crossing the driveway/street when her mom told her not to (mom was 8 months pregnant and finding it hard to physically stop her all the time).  For her own safety, they needed to find a way to get the message through.

    We haven't started yet and so far Levi hasn't had a timeout moment.
    We will start 1824 months

    I still think it's pretty early for timeouts. I typically just redirect or say "not for Natalie" and she does well.

    We're planning to skip time outs all together, but even if you're going to do them it is way too early.

    We probably would actually start doind this until he is closer to 2.nbsp; Right now, he just wouldn't get it and redirection is far more effective.

    Same. I did a lot of research on this when DH wanted to start time outs for hitting at 11 months. They don't have the brain development for comprehension before 2.

    How the heck are you even supposed to keep a 15 month old in time out?!

    This!! I know each baby is different developmentally, but there isn't a chance in the world that he would even understand the concept of a 10 second time out.

    I spend a lot of time repeating myself and re directing but I think that's getting us a lot further than a time out ever would at this age. For DS at least.

    That's what I was thinking. I would believe it to be a waste of time.

    We put DS is his play yard for 5 minutes with no toys. He hates it but I don't think he puts two and two together yet.

    This. It would be the rare child who actually "got it" at this age.

    Time out at this age is ridiculous. End of story.

    5 minutes is crazy, especially considering there's no way at this age he can comprehend the punishment. What could a 15 month old possibly be doing to necessitate a 5 minute time out? Doesn't that just escalate the situation and you end up with him just crying the whole time? The general rule is a minute per year they are old because of concepts of time and all that.

    ETA I didn't finish my thought. When you leave a kid in timeout for longer than they're capable of staying, understanding etc. you're just creating more trouble. It is like torture to them! A 5 year old should sit in timeout for 5 minutes, not a 15month old.  Also, if he isn't putting "two and two" together then what is the point? Discipline be about correcting and teaching. If he isn't learning anything what good could you possible be doing?
