Give your child a clean slate and don't tell her father or relatives how many time-outs she needed that day. Don't punish your child for the normal expression of anger, such as saying angry things or looking angry. Don't try to control your child too much. Give your child more choices about how he takes his time-out. It doesn't matter to me.
Some children feel overly controlled.
Use a variety of consequences for misbehavior. Ignore harmless behaviors. Also use distraction for bad habits. Clarify with your child what you want him to do. Also clarify the house rules.
