I have 3 toddlers prone to dramatics. So, I decided to try out "the crying spot". I think I need 2!
My playroom is rather small, so having a crying spot in there isn't very helpful to the rest of the group. The cryer is pretty much right there in your face (or in this case, ears).
If I have to leave the room, I also have to put up a gate, or else everyone follows me, bringing toys with them and trashing my livingroom nearby.
I put the crying spot outside of the playroom, and, my toddlers LOVE the crying spot so much (a bench with a couple stuffed animals to hug), they PURPOSELY start crying so that they can go there...
I need a bigger playroom!
