*LOL* Jillian, I know I shouldn't laugh but his description for why it isn't nice to call someone a 'poo-poo' is so cute.

Jillian, your technique sounds alot like the one the Supernanny uses with the 'naughty step/spot/corner' with an age related length of time (ie. 2 minutes for a 2yr old, 3mins for a 3 year old....). Was this the methodology that inspired your discipline styling?

I really wanted to try it on Miss 3.5 when she's in my house because I think it is directed very much to age appropriate understanding/consequences; but obviously it would be difficult for me to implement with her if it isn't what happens at home IYKWIM?

Thank you ladies, I really appreciate these stories & ideas. You can read all the books in the world on discipline but it's particularly worthwhile when you know of a step-by-step method or two that HAS worked in real life.
