One of my little 2 yr old guys is in the "No" stage and is very willful. If he doesn't get his way when he throws tantrums. So instead of putting him in the time out chair I put him at the dinner table in his strap in chair and made him sit there for his time out. He couldn't move his chair or the table go for toys or get up from time out and try to participate. I think I found the answer to how to deal with this little guy...!!happyface

Agreed...
I have also used this method for the willful who are very exhausting because they will not stay in their timeout spot! -
I told the dcf about it today...his response is that they read they are supposed to exnore it.
Sure, I get that..just turn a blind eye to it..but if it's followed with bad behavior and tantrums....forget it...he's got my reaction and gets to be put in his lunch chair.
I told his father that he needs to learn that when I tell him to do something and he tells me no that he needs to learn it doesn't matter what I ask...he needs to do it bc I'm the boss. It's for the safety of him and the kids that I ask him to not do something or to do something. We will see tomorrow how well he behaves and if I need to follow up with the lunch chair time out.

Super glad you have found something that works...so far. happyface
I know in my state I would be in big trouble for disciplining like that. We are NOT allowed to restrain a child in ANY way when it comes to punishment or discipline.
If they came here while I had a 2 year old strapped into a chair, he had better be eating and not in time out....kwim?
As long as your rules and regs are ok with that then I really hope it works for you! Head strong kids are tough to manage. Are the parents supportive and willing to work with you in caring/teaching their child?Comment

My state has the same rule. No restraining a child.
I personally think it's crazy and before long we won't even be allowed to sigh deeply.....but that's another post..Comment

ha ha ha ha ahhahahathat was a great one. Thanks, I needed that...
According to the state the provider isn't the boss anyway. The kids are. Thats what the rating scale wants. Kids run the place. In my positive guidance class they said we must never put a child in timeout. The child should put him/herself in time out.Not Clueless anymore

now thats funny...just as funny as the "NO" thread. The one where the parents came to the interview at the DC and told the provider that they didn't want her telling their child "NO"
Ugh....too much dang research....BTW what qualifications does one have to obtain in order to do "research"....
Sorry off topic.....Comment

Sorry it took so long to return back on here and reply!! Awww!!
I am not state lic. I only have 4 childs per day per to not be lic. There is a LOT of reasons why I don't wish to be lic. but also, I run my childcare a lot diff. them most. I am very stricked with my daycare kids not to mention my own. I teach the children to respect each other and to be respectful of them selves. I don't have to strap them in but I guess I get used to doing that when they are in their chairs to eat so they don't fall out. It's kind of the same way when they are seated in their chair for time out. Do you ever feel like sometimes the children would like you to share on the time out with you...bc you have to stand right next to them bc they keep getting up. Opps...timer went off for lunch....I'll be right back!!
