If you have young children you have probably sat them in ‘time-out’ at least once or twice for poor behavior. Having four children in our household, I can say that we have used the time-out rule more than a few times as a way to settle down the situation and have our children reflect on the poor behavior that they portrayed.<\/p>\n
One thing you may often hear while your child is sitting in time-out is ‘When can I get up?’, or ‘Is it time to get up yet?’. This can further escalate a child’s poor behavior as the child doesn’t have a full understand of time just yet, therefore they can become even more agitated.<\/p>\n
This awesome DIY project is brilliant and can put an end to all of the above.<\/p>\n
This ‘time-out’ chair is designed in the shape of an hourglass. When your child is placed in ‘time-out’, you simply flip the stool and when the sand makes its way to the bottom of the hourglass, the child is able to get out of ‘time-out’. This sets an expectation for the child and allows them to understand just how long they will be placed there.<\/p>\n
