You know we who posted on this thread are not some monsters who wish every child had never been born-we're just asking for a bit of consideration and understanding-I know you're probably ticked at those of us who say we have rights, too. Well of the children I have seen-if they are our future-I pity the future!!

Where did I say temper tantrums help developement? Do not put words into my mouth please. Yes a time out can help, when you have done everything else that is my last option and I WILL use it. It's either go in the crib, or be smacked, and I prefer not smacking.
