My 1.5 old dog Harleigh has been responding really well with positive training but occasionally when she feels like I am on the phone too long or not paying her enough attention she chews books and papers up. I don’t want to yell at her because it gives her attention that she is looking for but I want a good way to discipline her that is effective so I can save the rest of my paperbacks and bills.
Baby is nearly walking at 10 mos. and is literally into everything. Despite making our home as babysafe as possible, she can still get into trouble, attempts to access things that are taboo, etc. I find myself constantly saying “no” and redirecting her back to her toys (which she finds much less interesting than just about everything else.) She gets pretty mad, and it seems like most everything that interests her right now is off limits (usually because of a danger to her.) Anyone have a better way to dicipline that you’ve tested with children?
At what age should I start?
Some call it the “Naughty chair” method
Are there any other methods that I should know?

Talking to your children about how to behave in a restaurant before you get there is much more effective than yelling at your kids to sit still and behave once you get there! This brief video shows you how powerful family meetings can be when you use the Positive Discipline approach to connect with your children. Dr. Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott demonstrate a simple process to save parents the pain and agony of trying to discipline kids in public places. Is this behavior modification? No. Is this “My way or the highway” approach to parenting? Nope. This is simply the Positive Discipline method of satisfying every child’s desire for belonging and significance. Our children really don’t plan to cause us hassles in public – they just do what they are supposed to do as learning human beings! They test boundaries, entertain themselves and explore the limits of humanity! Some might call that bad behavior but it’s totally natural. Take pre-emptive action and do a little planning before your next family outing. You can teach manners to any child at any age but not when you’re upset, they’re hungry, and the watchful eye of the world is upon you! Watch this brief parenting video tip so you can find a more effective way of teaching than yelling, telling, and ordering kids into good behavior.

-Do you do this? If so, how old were your children when you started?
-Is it your “go to” disciplinary action or do you do other things as well? Like what?
-Where do your children take their time outs and how long do you typically keep them there?
-If you have more than 1 child, and both need to go to time out at the same time (for fighting or being naughty together) do you seperate them or have them sit or stand quietly together?
-If you don’t use time out, why not?
