Unfortunately Finn has become familiar with time out. He has been acting out a little since Noah came home. I must say, this time out thing is pretty effective! We put him in his little time out place and tell him he has to stay there. That usually makes him pretty upset and starts crying pretty hard. After about one minute, he calms down and just looks at us. We never keep him there for more than 2 minutes. Then he puts his arms up motioning for us to pick him up. And he usually hugs us, as if he is saying he is sorry. It stops the bad behavior right away. I am hoping time out continues to do the trick.
