We are getting to the stage where we need to start thinking about these things. DD is getting to the point where easy things can be hard sometimes and I want a strategy. Any helpful books, blogs, techniques? I don't know where to start. I do know about time-out and we will probably do some version of that. How do you implement that in reality? I feel funny asking this like I should know a little something something about this but I want a strategy to help me stay consistent and not lose my cool and also to set firm boundaries/ expectations.

We do time outs by age. They have to sit in the step for their time u til my alarm goes off. As they get older I only start the timer once they are sitting calmly and quiet.
Timeouts are for hitting, back talk, sass or disobedience.
We also do 1,2,3 as warnings. As s on as I hit 3, you’re in the step.
If they refuse the step I help them to their room and they stay until I have calmed down, usually twice as long as their step would be. And again, they have to be calm and rational to get out.
We always talk about the offense after and why they received a consequence.

We did 1,2,3 Magic which was counting down until time out - it’s very effective for younger kids. Our behavior therapist taught us to do tell, show and do with our older son.
