Time-Out

At the twins 2 year check up in January, the doctor (whom I love), asked me if I had any concerns. Drakes aggression issues...beating his sister over the head with big plastic objects and laughing about it... big concern...where did he even learn that?? She said I should start putting him in time-out. Now, while this concept is nothing new to me as I have used it in my own childcare business since Lydia was little...for some reason, it didn't sit well. My first thought was, but he's just a baby. So, I told my hubs what the Dr. said and he was like... awesome. But I will admit that I just really have not done it. So, when Drake full out shoved Gabrielle into the cabinets and knocked her down...that was it. He went directly into the time-out chair with no remorse from Mommy. He sat there for 2 minutes with his face in the corner. When I talked to him about what he did and asked him to say sorry and give her love, he acted like he was going to comply. So, when he ran over and just looked at her, I of course encouraged him. But he refused and back to time-out he went. After much tears and two time-outs he did give Gabrielle love. I'm going to call this a win. Maybe this time-out thing will be a great teaching tool for him.
