okay, i have one for ya.

2 1/2 year old, tons of attitude, aggressive and impulsive, not much self-control. we've been doing time-out on our bar stool because it's the only place he can't get out of. in his room with a baby gate he tears the place apart, kicks the walls, throws stuff, etc. he won't sit on a regular seat for time-out. he keeps getting up and realized quickly that when he gets up, we go near him to sit him back down and he gets a couple good swings at us. so the stool was working well for a while but he is very close to figuring out how to get down from it. i don't know what i'll do when he can.

i don't think he'll understand restitution. he has a speech delay so can't talk through problems. i usually sit him in time out for hitting or scratching me or the dog or throwing toys. he's really smart in some ways but then lacks cognition in others.

any ideas?
