A few weeks ago, Savannah got a time out at school. She kept running away from her teachers (all the way out of the classroom, down the hall and into the front room) and they made her sit for two minutes. I think I’ve mentioned that she HATES timeouts and they have been pretty helpful for us in disciplining her.
We also used the occasion as a learning experience. We talked about how you should listen to your teachers and do what they say. Well, every day before school she now tells us “You will not run away and you will not get any timeouts” Great.
Tonight Conor asked her if she had any timeouts at school and she said “No, but someone ellllllse diiiiiiid.” She then told us all about the offender (name withheld) and his crime (throwing things). It was a good bit of preschool gossip.
