Parents who wish to handle discipline problems in firm and loving ways need tools. Time-In is a practical process that teaches children how to be competent, to think, and to succeed. It uses four tools, Ask, Act, Attend, and Amend, which fit together like interchangeable puzzle pieces. Time-In addresses discipline and misbehavior while strengthening the connection the child has with the parent or teacher.
I'll be trying this method. Apparently, my daughter's personality (extrovert, active, needs to talk/express herself versus quietly thinking to solve problems) fits the description of a child who does not respond well to time-out. So, we'll see...wish me luck!:)
