Book Review: for a parent who had no idea about timeouts
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter was and is continuing to grow into a stubborn little girl who knows exactly what she wants. She was beginning to display tantrums with me. I immediately turned to Amazon, looking for a self-help book about tantrums in toddlers. I had no idea about timeouts. I grew up in a home where my parents spanked, hit me with any object they could find. I wanted to learn about disciplining without force, without physical abuse. I wanted to know why parents begin to hit their children harder and harder as their children make them angrier. My mother would hit me so hard that her hand would hurt her, but I never showed any pain as a reaction. I was afraid this would happen to me now that I was a parent.
As soon as I read this, I perfected the skill immediately. It's an excellent book. I didn't even finish reading it---only read it halfway and then leant it to my friend who had a child who she was too soft on, who had terrible tantrums as a result. I bought a timer in Walmart with a spring for 3.00 and placed this on the dresser, chose a spot (the bed in our one bedroom condo) with the door open, and put the timer on for the number of minutes of her age (2 years old, then 2 minutes to sit on the bed). Read the book---it goes on to explain how to do this. After only 2 times of doing it, and being consistant, it worked. My daughter is so obedient and afraid of timeout. It's as if I hit her, like my mother did when she disciplined me over 20 years ago. There are secrets taught in this book that I never realized. Timeout's absolutely a great concept. Yes, some people just look at me as if I'm crazy in the caribbean (where they still hit their chidren in daycares and schools with their hand, belt, etc) but it's beginning to be taught there as well, to begin introducing timeouts to the educated caregiver. Great concept. Great book.
