time out

Adler has been getting more and more time-outs at home. she is biting, hitting, and throwing toys. last night it was a wooden hammer at my face. i was not happy to say the least. she gets put in the rocking chair with an admonishment. i don't really make her stay in the chair for any length of time but she knows and understands she is in trouble and will sit for a minute or so before she is up and back at it. for a toddler i don't think i can expect any more.
