My wife and I are strong supporters of the naughty step and reward charts as a tool for discipline so when i saw an advert for some free stuff i though i would post the link. www.thenaughtyseat.co.uk The group are offering a free reward chart and 10% off all their stocks. Free stuff is always good this time of year!!
Thanks freerunner...just checked out the site. They have some good charts etc and as you say always good to get some free stuff at this time of year.
... Just one thought....
I have heard others choosing a positive name for the step/rug/chair
eg Time out step, or Thinking step
Thus not providing the negative undertones of 'naughty'.... and assisting the learning process... toward the intended outcome.

Hmmm, we appear quite sneaky here, we dont need to call it anything - our kids understand the context / situation / tone of voice straight away.
