One of the not-so-fun things about Lil’ Duck growing up is the need for punishment. Who knew someone so cute and little could be so naughty?
Oftentimes now he will throw something or hit us with ducky or use another object to misbehave. We discovered that rather than putting HIM in time-out in this case, it actually works better to put ducky or another object in time-out. Ducky sits atop the kitchen counter where he can be seen, but not touched, with his head underneath his wings 
. Oh my, the howls and the apologies as soon as this dreaded event occurs! Ever since that time-out, he hasn’t hit anyone or anything with ducky though.
Last night the humidifier got a time-out, with equal success so far (the irony in putting a HUMIDIFER in time out was highly amusing to me, by the way).
Be sure to visit the rest of the Works For Me Wednesday tips for other great ideas as well.
Great idea, we utilize it at my house with my girls!
