Discipline question

[logansmom]

Thanks for all your replies. I do think Logan is tipping chairs to get attention (and I also believe that he loves the smack as it hits the floor). We have tried to stop our reactions and are making him pick up the chair. We're also giving simple reasons why he needs to stop tipping chairs and we're attempting timeouts. I'm not convinced he understands the timeout or the reasons . . . but perhaps that will come with time. We actually discussed bolting the chairs to the table prior to my request for suggestions - hopefully it won't come to that!

Thanks to all of you! Now we have to extend these techniques to the throwing plates and cups while he's at the table . . .

Kim, Logan (2 1/2, Ds), and Carson (5 weeks)

Good luck with the plates and cups. I thought that phase would never end! It did, though. For the most part...Just turn him around in his high chair and hope it passes quickly.
