Time-out Teddy

Nolan has changed so much over the last 6 months. His behavior is typically good, but he sometimes struggles when he has to share his parents with Madelyn. He also tends to want to play with the toy we give to her, even though they are baby toys. We have used the time-out technique for a while and he understands why he is there, but he will not always stay. So tonight I introduced him to Time-out Teddy, which has a timer to let him know when his 2 minutes are up. I am hoping the timer sound will help him realize that we are not arbitrarily deciding how long he is sitting in time-out. I am sure it will take some "time", but I am hopeful it will help.
