How does a parent deal with a five year old child who acts out seemingly to be punished by ';time outs';?

products on the shelves in the grocery store?How does a parent deal with a five year old child who acts out seemingly to be punished by ';time outs';?
Whats the S.I.S.?


could be the child feels ';safe'; during those time-outs.


Someone told me once that it is some kind of symptom of epilepsy to feel 'bombarded' by the looks of all the food on grocery shelves in stores. Check it out for the poor kid.How does a parent deal with a five year old child who acts out seemingly to be punished by ';time outs';?
Most of these so called 'syndromes' such as ADD and ADHD can be prevented by some timely attention and love. They can be corrected by a simple application of a completely natural remedy called ';spanking';.
Choose an alternate route for punishment, plain and simple. I am a mother of three, and, I too, was faced with the same dilema at one point in time. Try a different approach all together. Depending on the severity of the incident, use your judgement on what you feel is an appropriate discipline action. One that worked for me was a ';distraction'; type method. When my son needed to be punished, I had a basket of various sized buttons, somewhere near the 200 mark. I would remove the child from the setting that the ';problem'; arose in,(that in itself is often a HUGE help within itself!)sat him or her down and emptied the basket in front of them. From there I explained that the buttons were to be pick up 1 at a time and gently placed back into the basket. Reminding them along the way that if more than 1 was added at a tim, we would dump the basket and start over again. This allows the child to calm themselves as well as diverting their attention from the negative and/or inappropriate behavior demonstrated! When all else fails try taking privileges away...
