I've never used time outs, but many swear by them. I think a one year old is too young to sit down and think about what they did wrong, or to associate the time out with the behavoir next time, but that's me. [ Reply | More ]

Depends of the dc - but generally I think a 22 mo old is too young to understand what they are being punished for. [ Reply | More ]

They will understand patterns, and if you give them a time out for every time they throw their food then they aill start to associate the behavior with the punishemnt. I think it is a good idea. [ Reply | More ]

thank you, i know he is young but i am trying to curb this behavior and he seems to be doing it at almost every meal so that is why I am trying this. I feel it is a bit young but he is only there for two minutes and hopefully he will understand why he is being put there. [ Reply | More ]

I truly beleieve that they understand behaviors at that age, of course they will have the tantrums, but I think it is important to start showing them what bad behavior gets them.....time out. [ Reply | More ]
