Austin has been in this phase for the last 6 months (so don't expect it to end any time soon) and remember this is where you really work to remind yourself not daily but by the minute that patience is a virtue. I have come to fear that this stage is enormously worse when raising a boy. The girls weren't even close to the behavior I've seen in Austin. Remember you have a great support system and good friends to trade stories with! I agree with the other two, don't use the bed, it will cause problems down the road.The Ossege Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903501733217182912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568110501770109156.post-61790944241199882942010-04-29T08:57:05.004-04:002010-04-29T08:57:05.004-04:00I'm not a mom, but after all of my classes on ...I'm not a mom, but after all of my classes on child development, therapy, etc. it sounds like you are doing exactly what you are supposed to!! Giving him lots of choices (when possible) is great! The only change I would make is your time out spot - I wouldn't use the bed because he will then associate it with time out and you might have problems getting him to go to bed later on (think Pavlov's dog). Make a time out chair, rug, or use a step on the staircase.

The first few times I had to hold him there, but now he sits. I've been told to keep the bed just for sleeping, not playing or timeout to aviod future problems with staying in it and sleeping...or so I have heard. <br />Just know that there are LOTS of others going through this stage together. <br />I love that he says the prayer...we must work on that!AbbyS.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07733858340351833876noreply@blogger.com
