you can punish him instead not by spanking him of course but by giving him an ultimatum. say, he did again, you can punish him by not giving him his favorite snack or by not letting him play outdoors or as to watch his favorite TV show. see if he respond with that kind of disciplinary action and if it doesn't, then maybe there's something wrong with his behavior than needs a special attention. |

I would say just keep trying the time outs and be consistent. my daughter did the same thing. we kept it up. she would even tell my mom about her time outs like it was a fun thing. she did that day! so frustrating. now i just have to warn her w/ a time out and she takes it seriously. |

Oh I have had to deal with this (x4)- I have 3 year old quadruplets. The thing that helped me was when they did something wrong the first time I would say "Don't throw your blanket and lovey's out of the crib. Do you understand?" and look at them sternly. If they don't reply I would say "say yes". And wait until they said yes. If they did it again I would take one thing out, and keep going from there. If it is something else (like hitting or standing on furniture), then on the second time they go in time out. We have two small gated off sections in out house (one upstairs, one down). And they have to sit in there for a minute while their siblings continue to play. It has worked like a charm! |

Time outs were a place to rest between torturing dogs and breaking things. I follow the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" rule. . In other words, if my daughter hits my dog, I take her hand and smack the back of it. When she whimpers I ask her if that felt good..when she says no, I tell her "then why would you do it to the dog?...you want to hurt the dog?" she never did it again. This is not just about teaching her, it's about protecting the dog. A toddler can do a LOT of damage to an animal, and our dog doesn't deserve that. Not only that but if my daughter hits her and the dog bites her back then it's my fault for not teaching my daughter that she has to respect other living things quicker. |

Consistency helps alot. If you want to be the person that he will listen to you will need to consistent with what your doing to get him to listen. At 12 months my daughter got one warning after that it was Time Out and I would let her know. I have been doing Time Outs since she was 12 months old. She got it the first time. I also have made it the point that she listens to me and I dont listen to her as if she wanted candy and dinner was almost done I would not give it to her. I have done alot to get my daughter to listen and it was hard work and consistency and it pulled off. |

You can't expect him to listen or understand you all the time. He keeps forgetting at this age. You simply have to be patient and keep explaining to him that what he's doing is wrong. Also try giving him treats or make him feel that he's a good boy every time he listens to you. I hope this helps. Good luck! |
