Excellent article speaking about brain development and discipline. The article specifically addresses Time Outs. A good way of thinking about it. Really enjoyed the article.

stephinie miner of gypsy forest I can't even tell you how much I love this. And as the mama of two teenagers who stay up late and share all their soulful bits, I can tell you it is true :)

The blessing hour gives us 60 minutes, around 4 o’clock in the afternoon, to pick-up, dust, sweep and get ready for our evening routine. It is a nice way to transition into our down time, and to make sure that our home is ready for a quiet family dinner. It feels refreshing to know that our home will be cleaned and organized, and that the boys have a sense of pride in moving into their evening with a fresh space. Of course it helps that every Blessing Hour is followed by a warm pot of tea, a favorite gluten free bread, warm butter and a dab of honey (or any other goodies we have made that week). Tea time has always been a favorite of mine, even before I had children, but ending the chores of the day and moving towards preparation for our family meal and our evening routine makes tea time even more special. I truly believe that setting that hour each day helps the boys to know when it is their time, their responsibility to help around their home. There is little complaining, and in fact there is more of a sense of simple transition into the next phase of their day.

Emilie Morris I loved this article too the first time I read it! Thanks for pinning!
Grace No problem, I'm glad I did!
I have exactly the child I was meant to have. As challenging as my guy is, I know I'm just the mother he needs.

Time Out Jar. It is really easy to make. The goal is that when they are feeling out of control, they shake the jar, then sit and watch the glitter settle in the water. When the glitter settles, they can get up. This one is a really great technique to use in lieu of timeout....i will do this for my nuggets- i feel like it would be calming too

Sarah Elwell what a wonderful idea!

Alicia Rogers Good article. We always say...let's start again. That includes me. I approach them with a different tone and we replay the whole scene again. If repeated attempts don't work, we do turn to time out, but that is almost for them to cool down. My middle son, hates time ins. I try to hold him time in and it takes him longer to cool. Who know...
Alicia Rogers sorry for the typos...;-)
