The fashionable "time in" When dealing with behaviour doesn't work for this crew. I don't know if it's because they are all quite close to each other so staying near by each other is counter productive. There are too many faces pulled and words said under breath going on for a 'time in' to work.
We have gone back to removal from the area. 10 mins in your room by yourself. To kick, scream and bellow to your hearts content. I will probably have to drop the time to 5mins as J managed to accrue nearly 50mins of cool down time walking from the bottom of the village to our house 🤔
You know that there are so many perfect parents out there, there are so many parenting styles and so many ways to think that you are failing at this. But you're not. You're really not.
I know that the boys don't want to 'talk' about the way they are acting....they are too busy bellowing at me. But those perfect parents will say I should be cuddling them and calming them....but.....I've tried all that and it doesn't work for these guys. They need to be alone. They know what has happened and they know what they should or shouldn't have done.
They don't like it of course. But I think we have been a bit slack in the discipline department for a bit. And now it's time to shape up. Although why they are acting up like this is anyones guess.
In other news it was hair cuts for all with my new speedy clippers and man are they good!!
We went for a play of rugby and rounders in the park before a quick drink and crisps at the pub.
Then Daddy and the two big ones have gone to watch the Lawnmower Racing up the road. It was a treat that they very nearly lost out on, but not wanting to let other people down they have gone.
