Junglemum, I've just borrowed 1-2-3 Magic from the library and have started doing it with DS. So far it's working well. I found myself yelling too much, getting very short tempered and grumpy too often so had to do something. We send DS to his room for time out as well. Most of the time he just sits on his bed and flick through his books. It's enough to calm him down and refocus (and me too!). I don't know if it is officially gentle parenting but I consider it to be as it works well without anyone getting angry, or resorting to smacking.
