aploum says to) Hello Supernanny Jo,
I really need some advice... My daughter is 21 months and has always been a good sleeper. She has been sleeping in her own bed and through the night since she was about 3 months old. In the beginning of June we went on vacation with her, we had a crib for her to sleep in but the only place we could put it was in the room with my husband and I. She had no problem going to sleep in it, however ever since we have been home we have been having problems with her.

Jo Frost says to:
nfldpenguin, what areas do you find most difficult with him not listening?

lovemybabe says to 6 pm in Alberta
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , mommy of 3!
Mady's Mom says to I really need some advice from you Jo!
myusername says to Shannnnn!
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , nannyof5!
twinsmommy says to: April 16th we converted the twins (20 mo. - girls) beds into toddler beds b/c they were climbing out. June 26th I joined the forum for advice & received awesome support! With help from Christy, Wendy & a few other ladies I was able to get the stay in bed technique to work, after 5 or 6 days - BUT - my sweet little girls have turned on us. They won’t stay in bed, they stay in their room but then they get into the toy box & the drawer
babysoup says to: Hi Shan
twinsmommy says to: Most recently, Elizabeth, has been waking her sister, Emmalyn, if she falls asleep b/4 she’s ready to sleep. The worst part is she’s waking her by BITING and PUSHING HER OUT OF BED. Last night I had to take Emmalyn from her room to let Elizabeth fall asleep b/4 I could put Emmalyn into bed.
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , soliloquise!
mommy of 3 says to: hey everyone
twinsmommy says to: The MOST worst part is that Emmalyn is now scared to be left alone in her room with Elizabeth. When I say she bites her to wake her up, that’s not all that accurate, she’s biting her just to bite her too. Poor little Emmalyn is learning how to play the victim & is beginning to whine even when she’s not being bitten.
aploum says to: For the past month (since we have been home from vacation) she now refuses to go to sleep in her own bed without screaming, crying and eventually throwing up. I have tried many methods, I have let her cry, but she will cry and scream for hours standing up, she will not sit or lay down, she just stands in her crib with her blanket in her hand. I have tried going in and laying her back down without saying anything and walking out again, but that just makes her more upset.
poppy0680 says to: Hi shan!!!
Southern Girl says to: hey Shan!
nfldpenguin says to: JO, Mostly with following directions, example to stop doing something that he is not allowed to do or something dangerous
twinsmommy says to: My husband is beginning to think we need to try something drastic like spanking or something the like. We’ve done time in the corner but that doesn’t seem to work. We did buy the “Teeth are Not for Biting” book but that seemed to make it worse!!!!
GIRLY says to: hey
soliloquise says to: hello everyone, trouble has arrived from wales :)
twinsmommy says to: Jo we’re so desperate for help!! Elizabeth is a great, smart little girl but I just can’t seem to get her to stop biting her sister, Emmalyn. Emmalyn has bite marks on her arms, legs, even her feet. It’s embarrassing when we go out in public, I fear someone is going to think I’m hurting her b/c of the bruises - it’s awful. PLEASE HELP US!!!!
mommy of 3 says to: this is alot better chatroom
Southern Girl says to: hi, sam :)
myusername says to: yes it is.....
JenJen_26 says to: yes it is
aploum says to: She wants me near her so she can hold on to me. If I go in her room and sit by her crib so she can hold my hand she is fine and she will go to sleep, or if I bring her in bed with me she goes right to sleep. For the past week I have been consistent at having her fall asleep in her own bed instead of mine, but it is a constant struggle. I usually end up having to sit by her crib so she can touch my hand and then she falls asleep. Please give me some advice on how to handle this situation
soliloquise says to: hello to babysoup southern and shan and of course jo !! < swoon > lol
babysoup says to: Do you like the coffee things shan?
aploum says to: I don't know what to do anymore. My husband works nights so I am basically a single parent who works full time and then comes home to take care of the baby. I have no free time to myself, except for when she falls asleep. This has been quite a struggle lately so I am exhausted and have no time to unwind before I go to bed.
mommy of 3 says to: what
mommy of 3 says to: coffee things
babysoup says to: Hi Sam
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , Mrs.Reb!
soliloquise says to: :)
myusername says to: Shan do you have myspace yet?
mommy of 3 says to: ohhhhh isee, never mind, lol
mommy of 3 says to: not yet
babysoup says to: hehe
Southern Girl says to: hey christy
babysoup says to: hi casey
aploum says to: Sorry for typing such a long message... I just don't know how to get her to go to sleep again in her crib like she used to do without screaming for hours
mommy of 3 says to: hi casey
mommy of 3 says to: chchch changes
mommy of 3 says to: lol
lovemybabe says to: Is Jo here?
stressed out says to: Hi Christy, Shan, Casey , JO
poppy0680 says to: yep
twinsmommy says to: Jo's typing.
babysoup says to: don't do that shan,
mommy of 3 says to: HI BECKY BABY
Southern Girl says to: hey becky :)
babysoup says to: Hey becky

Jo Frost says to:
twinsmommy, the behavior with the biting has two things going on here. One is that she's using the biting to intimidate the other twin, so that will need to be hadnleing during the day so that when she does bite and intimdate, she will be actively ignored. She's trying to dominate her sister. But encouraging them to do things together will make them enjoy each other. But this behavior needs to be nipped in the bud so as the other twin won't become more of an introvert

nfldpenguin says to: Jo, I would just like to say thank you for doing this chat, we really appreciate you taking the time to do it. Love your show, I learn lots!
Mady's Mom says to: My 20mo started climbing out of her crib and when she fell out doing this we decided it was time to move her to a toddler bed. She had always slept through the night since 2mo without any problems until now. Since moving her she has had a terrible time both going to sleep and staying asleep. The first night I thought she was just playing the get out of bed because I can game so I used the Stay In Bed technique of walking her back to bed this lasted for four hours before she finally stayed in bed
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , msbelle08!
twinsmommy says to: How do we "handle" it?
soliloquise says to: wow poor jo is gonna need a valium after this chat lol
poppy0680 says to: lol
soliloquise says to: < trying to keep up >
GIRLY says to: (lol)
mommy of 3 says to: Dana, happy birthday
myusername says to: lol xanac is better
myusername says to: xanax*
twinsmommy says to: Like I said, we've done the timeouts (in the corner), it just doesn't seem to phase her.
babysoup says to: Happy bday Dana!
msbelle08 says to: Hello Jo.
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , christa!
babysoup says to: hi christa
lovemybabe says to: Jo, how long does it take for the controlled crying method to work?
myusername says to: 12 more days til my birthday I am so excited... me and Jo are one month apart in bdays lol.
christa says to: Hi Christy..boy I struggled with that one

Jo Frost says to:
Mady's Mom, look at her daytime routine and her bedtime routine because her naps need to be measurable to the time she goes to bed. And I wouldn't at 20 mnths necessarily recommend the stay in bed technique bc at 20 months they show signs of separation anxiety. So you may be better doing the sleep peperation technique

Southern Girl says to: hey christa
babysoup says to: with what
mommy of 3 says to: hi christy, ohhhh i mean christa, lol

Jo Frost says to:
so your child will be comfortable with you in the room. this can be found in the first supernanny book

christa says to: Ha very funny Shan
nfldpenguin says to: Jo, I find that my son will listen to my husband more than he will to me. My husband using a strict tone with him, I try to do the same but I don't get the same response. I have being doing time outs but not with much luck

Jo Frost says to:
lovemybabe, no more than seven days max

christa says to: Hi Jo
mommy of 3 says to: heheheheh im a brat
Mady's Mom says to: My 20 mo old climbed and fell out of her crib so we moved her to a toddler bed. She once slept through the night since 2 months now she wakes throuhout the night. The first night I tried the stay in bed then I started using the separation technique I have been doing this for about three weeks I can't go out of the room or it starts all over
christa says to: yes you are
Mady's Mom says to: Also she wakes multiple times during the night
christa says to: As the tune to Jeopardy plays in the background
christa says to: lol
JenJen_26 says to: What do you do when your potty training and things are going great and you almost have them out of the pull-ups and then she hits a brick wall and now wants nothing to do with it! This is happened twice!
Mady's Mom says to: usually wakes about 12 and then it is ever hour after that until she gets up for the day at 6am we have a very strict bedtime routine also
mommy of 3 says to: hello, hahaha, i thought all went dead
Mady's Mom says to: she only takes one nap of about 2 hours during the daytimechrista says to: lol
christa says to: that's going on with me too jen

Jo Frost says to:
nfldpenguin, it's not about who does it, it's about getting the technique of the firm voice correct. each step has its place that serves the next one and as you will see from watching the show, there are still many parents that know of the technique, but they still don't do the steps properly. It's not all about tone of voice.

JenJen_26 says to: I am talking to Wendy on the phone and she can't log on.....it is giving her serious problems
aploum says to: How do I get my 21 mth daughter back into the routine of going to sleep in her own bed? She was always good until our vacation last month.
myusername says to: tell her to restart IE then try.. It took me 2 times too.
mommy of 3 says to: weny is pooping her pants then
poppy0680 says to: Lilly is singing Dora the expolor behind me! I have never notice how annoying that song is intill now!
nfldpenguin says to: It's very busy in here. Jo, I have another question. My husband is in the military and is about to leave for 7 months to go to Afghanistan. I'm very worried about my son while Daddy is away. He is very attached to him. We also have a four month old daughter. Any tips to keep him from having too much seperation anxiety ?
msbelle08 says to: Hello Jo. I am a mother of 4 children with the ages ranging from 6 yrs., 5yrs., 20 monthes and 4 mos. I am overwelmed and somewhat depress. I would like to incorporate some kind of routine with the the older children. I know I will have some success with the 6 yr. old but the 5yr. old is a challenge. He is very strong-willed.
*** (00:20):Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , carlacaprio!

Jo Frost says to:
JenJen_26 , take them out of pull-ups, I don't agree with them. They're mixed messages. You're either in big girl/boy knickers or you're in diapers. One or the other. Once you've made the choice, stick with it and follow through

aploum says to: she will scream for more than an hour and a half.. what is the longest you should let your child scream and cry?
JenJen_26 says to: really christa...what are doing?
christa says to: keeping them in diapers until they agree to go
mommy of 3 says to: JO, you told me in the last chat to use pull ups
mommy of 3 says to: with lily
myusername says to: Jen does she go to daycare or anything or is she at home with you all day?
mommy of 3 says to: at bedtime
JenJen_26 says to: sounds like a plan to me JO...thanks

Jo Frost says to:
msbelle08, to start off for a routine it will be important for you to put in place cornerstones: bedtimes, mealtimes, school, nursery and then to take into consideration meeting the needs and demands of your baby. It's not impossible.

JenJen_26 says to: the past year..she has been at home..but she was in daycare for almost two years
christa says to: they will sit there but refuse to void on the toilet...so were at an impasse

Jo Frost says to:
And a routine will diffuse your feelings of being overwhelmed right now

Mady's Mom says to: The first night I tried the stay in bed then I started using the separation technique I have been doing this for about three weeks I can't go out of the room or it starts all over usually wakes about 12 and then it is ever hour after that until she gets up for the day at 6am we have a very strict bedtime routine

Jo Frost says to:
it will make you feel like you have more structure which will allow you to feel more organized and will take the anxiety out of your daily life so that you can enjoy your newborn and give your children the attention they need. Also, get your partner invovled in this process too.

myusername says to: Oh ok... I was going to say if she is at home go cold turkey on the pullups and do big girl underwear since ur at home and able to deal with the accidents. At my daycare the 2 year old teacers are not consistent at all with the kids in potty training and it makes me so mad.
babysoup says to: Hi Jo
JenJen_26 says to: I think I will do that!
myusername says to: I've noticed daycare causes a lot of problemes in potty training because there are so many kids... not enough time to focus on one child..
babysoup says to: Sorry, i didn't get the question in
JenJen_26 says to: tell me about it
babysoup says to: What do we do about the naughty spot if we are driving?
msbelle08 says to: I have a so so routine with the two older boys. Hubby is helping already. I really need to know how to handle my 5 yr old strong willed behavior. How do I go about making it his idea?
twinsmommy says to: Jo, you said we need to handle the biting right away, I TOTALLY agree but my question I guess really is... How do I stop it? How do we get rid of the biting??
lovemybabe says to: Jo, what are your views about vaccinations?
myusername says to: Pull over. lol
christa says to: lol
soliloquise says to: or get a harley :)
JenJen_26 says to: Wendy still can't get in here....she wants to know if she has been purposely blocked from the chat??

Jo Frost says to:
Hi Christy! First and formost, you're going to pull over that car girl! :) So as to keep everybody safe in teh car. Naughty spots should be given as a warning in the car adn then one should follow through when the car journey is over.

nfldpenguin says to: That's funny, just this morning I had to pull over because my son took his seatbelt off

Jo Frost says to:
But of course, I know you can do this because I've already seen you do it in your own home! :)

myusername says to: oooooo I was right
babysoup says to: Thanks!!
myusername says to: I want a cooky.
myusername says to: cookie*
msbelle08 says to: I even have implemented house rules so they know what to expect.

Jo Frost says to:
Jen_Jen, of course she's not. THere must be some error somewhere -- Jon can you check it out please?

Jo Frost says to:
lovemybabe , it's our responsibility as parents to protect our children and keep them safe from disease

myusername says to: Jo - did you do anything special for your birthday?
christa says to: i try to talk her through on im...jen tell her to hold on

Jo Frost says to:
I am personally 100 percent behind vaccinations, they are a MUST in my book

Mady's Mom says to: sorry i have posted multiple times my computer isn't working fast enough.... anyway to further the conversation about the bedtime.... i used the stay in bed only the first night then I was trying the sleep separation technique this worked until i got to the step of being out the door and it starts all over again to where i can't go further
Mady's Mom says to: we have a very strict bedtime routine, my other problem is the nightwaking starts about 12 and every hour after that until she gets up at 6 because she won't stay in bed any longer than that
myusername says to: Mayd just keep putting her back in the bed and don't give into her. It might take hours but it will be worth it in the end.

Jo Frost says to:
myusername, yes indeedy I did! :) I spent time with those closest to me. And ejoyed my special time off. Hey, once again, thank you for your video on YouTube. and P.S. Why did you not say hello to me when you saw me at the book signing. Next time say hello!

Jo Frost says to:
Also, thank you for your personal letter! :)

soliloquise says to: jo do you assist unruly adults too :)
nfldpenguin says to: i don't think my post worked. Jo, my husband is going to Afghanistan for 7 months. I''m worried about my son (2 and a half) because he is so attached to him. Any suggestions on how I can make it easier on him? Or has anyone else gone through this?
twinsmommy says to: JO, do you have any suggestions for stopping the biting?
lovemybabe says to: Jo, are you coming to Canada any time soon?
soliloquise says to: i saw your post nfl i think everyone is just firing stuff at once so they get lost
myusername says to: I was in shock Jo.. =). I should have but did not know if you would have known who I was even if I said I was who I am lol.
mommy of 3 says to: i have not gone through that, but man do i feel you
babysoup says to: Shan, what are you talking about dear?
mommy of 3 says to: that would be hardnfl
myusername says to: JO please do an episode on classroom management in a daycare... you can come to Panda (where I work) and help our 3 year old teacher lol.

Jo Frost says to:
nfldpenguin , I've worked with a few families now on the Supernanny show where they have been affected by this war. And the most important thing out of everything is to remain in contact as much as possible. I have set up blogs and webcams for families so taht when their partners do have free time, they're able to link up and see the faces of their loved ones which can be really reassuring. And it doesn't stop you from talking about daddy every day and drawing picture of/for him

***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , wendi!

***:nfldpenguin quit the room
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , nfldpenguin!

JenJen_26 says to: i have to watch out with what i am saying because he will read some of my post when i am not around
christa says to: All Work!!
myusername says to: Well actually.. mom's accent does work for the schoolaged kids. They stop and stare at me and are amused. I also yell at them in German.... even though I don;t know German I make it up. lol

Jo Frost says to:
JenJen_26, as long as you are doing that and honoring yourself as well, then that's a good thing

JenJen_26 says to: Thanks for asking Jo, how are you doing?
***:lovemybabe quit the room
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , lovemybabe!
twinsmommy says to : I know not to bite back but the problem is, we don't know WHAT to do.
Jo Frost says to : Anyone on here from the UK?
babysoup says to : I sense some desperation there.
myusername says to : Punish her when she bites. How old is she again?
twinsmommy says to : We are beside ourselves.
soliloquise says to: yes wales here jo
nfldpenguin says to: no I'm from Canada
christa says to: time out
soliloquise says to: wanna welshcake?
christa says to: do you use time outs?
twinsmommy says to: She's 20 months & yes there is DESPERATION!!!
Mady's Mom says to: JO- how do I finish the separtation technique if everytime i get outside the door she screams and gets out of bed as long as I am at the door (inside) she will go to sleep.... what about the nightwaking??? plz help I have and have read the book but doesn't help once I am at this point
twinsmommy says to: Time outs don't seem to do much.
twinsmommy says to: She's doing this while she supposed to be going to sleep.

Jo Frost says to:
Solioquise, yes please and a nice cuppa tea at 1:40 in the morning! :)

Mrs.Reb says to: Im not from the UK but my husbnd iwe are in the US now though
christa says to: well you have to be consistent
soliloquise says to: consider it done me lovely :)
***:lovemybabe quit the room
***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , lovemybabe!
soliloquise says to: take her back to bed repeatedly no matter how many times, the technique is on the forum i believe
myusername says to: Mommy Jo, I hope you get to sleep in tomorrow....... It's very late for you.
christa says to: I would say if she awake enough to bite she's awake enough to do her punishment for 2 minutes
twinsmommy says to: We are. We continue to do the time outs, they just don't seem to do anything.
nfldpenguin says to: just curious, how long is the chat for tonight?

Jo Frost says to:
hahah!

twinsmommy says to: JO - ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

Jo Frost says to:
nfldpenguin, only for an hour as I've got work tomorrow!

christa says to: it will catch on and soon she'll realize there will be not so fun consequences...but she's barely two it's a learning process dear
wendi says to: Jo please give me advice concerning Ty,,,I can take it. He is my only son Do you see why I have to help him a little?
nfldpenguin says to: an hour is great, thanks
lovemybabe says to: The controlled crying tech is for babie in a crib right?
myusername says to: twinsmomy since she is only one it will be hard as she probably does not understand many words. Show her with your facial expressions and when she bites say NO firmly and remove her form her sister.
Mady's Mom says to: it is on the site but it says move further and further to the door until you are outside but i can't get outside and i can't find anything about nightwaking
nfldpenguin says to: I appreciate it, as I'm sure everyone else does too.
myusername says to: Thats what we do with your biting one year olds.

Jo Frost says to:
Wendi, advice on anything specific?

soliloquise says to: come to wales and tame my dogs :) i havent started with the sprogs yet lol
christa says to: isn't that what the dog whisperer is for?
christa says to: lol
soliloquise says to: i want jo lol
wendi says to: When to help and when to step back. He is lazy and works sometimes.

wendi says to: wow it is quiet
***:lovemybabe quit the room

Jo Frost says to:
Wendi, right now you need to step back and while he's living under your roof, he needs to step up his responsibilities.

***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , lovemybabe!
soliloquise says to: i think ( and correct me if i am wrong ) the technique is to not talk after the firs time and just consistently return to bed
christa says to: Jo's typing
mommy of 3 says to: yes it is quiet wendy
babysoup says to: I'm laughing
nfldpenguin says to: Jo, I have a four month old baby, what is your opinion on making routines for an infant? I am breastfeeding her but she is still feeding on demand. Not really a schedule as such, should I try to get her on one?
wendi says to: me too

Jo Frost says to:
If he's living under your roof and not paying rent, then he needs to step up responsibilities

Mady's Mom says to: don't talk at all plz help jo
myusername says to: The only problem I have with kids is I can;t help but laugh when they say bad things.
mommy of 3 says to: i have a headache, so not much happening in my brain, lol
soliloquise says to: < hands out valium and welshcakes >
babysoup says to: I'm sorry shan
JenJen_26 says to: i could say alot...i love to talk, but just reading now
wendi says to: no...he is living here and there and expects me to bail him out...
twinsmommy says to: I'm severly concerned here!! Do I go into the bedroom each time they get out of bed for fear they are going to start biting eachother? Or do I wait until it happens b/c it will.
myusername says to: solil got xanax instead?
twinsmommy says to: She bites her 5 - 6 times b/4 they actually fall asleep.
*** (00:45):Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , Tiffani!
wendi says to: Hey tiff
soliloquise says to: < magics some for myusername >
JenJen_26 says to: hey tiff
babysoup says to: hi tiff

Tiffani says to: Hi everyone!

Jo Frost says to:

mommy of 3 says to: well, and a touch of pms too, christy as you know, lol

Jo Frost says to:
You need to change your expectations and certainly his.

myusername says to: Yeah make his behind do chored wendi.
mommy of 3 says to: hi tiff
lovemybabe says to: Does the controlled crying tech work for babies in a crib?
msbelle08 says to: Jo- may i ask how do you handle a strong willed child when you implement a new routine? I apologize if i have asked this before.
wendi says to: Thanks Jo...I'm trying

Jo Frost says to:
He's living at his friends so he doesn't have to meet your expectations.

Tiffani says to: I thought I was early
soliloquise says to: ok i am gonna shut up so jo can see the wood for the trees... awesome to " meet you " jo and there is always a welshcake in the valleys for ya here in wales x :)
JenJen_26 says to: you can do it wendy
myusername says to: chores*. something. jeez.
JenJen_26 says to: just believe in yourself and ty
wendi says to: ouch...okay

Jo Frost says to:
soliloquise, sounds good to me. Cheer lovie! :)

Tiffani says to: Hi Jo
soliloquise says to: muah
nannyof5 says to: Wendy if you keep it up before you know it he will be 32 and still doing the same thing. I know from experience

Jo Frost says to:
Wendi, tough love when necessary

myusername says to: SO who is getting me a present for my birthday?

Jo Frost says to:
Hi Tiff

mommy of 3 says to: when is your birthday
wendi says to: i know you're right...and Jo I will continue to work on this...thanks for the support
babysoup says to: When it stops moving does that mean no one is typing?
Southern Girl says to: i'm sure shan will sing to you!
christa says to: Mine is Aug 3rd...YAY!
myusername says to: July 27th. One month after mommy Jo's lol
mommy of 3 says to: yes i will sing
Tiffani says to: Jo, how do I handle twin 18month olds in the naughty spot? One goes, the other tries to sit in his lap
Mady's Mom says to: plz it is almost time for bedtime and i would like to know how to advance i haven't slept in 3-4 wks now and I am about ready just to move her back to the crib
twinsmommy says to: Tiff, we have that happen at our house sometimes... lol twin girls - 20 mi.
twinsmommy says to: 20 mo.
*** (00:48):poppy0680 quit the room
Tiffani says to: It's all screaming for a long time...

Jo Frost says to:
msbelle, The best thing to do when implementing a new routine is to follow through. And change as you know isn't easy for some of us, but persevere with it and follow through.

twinsmommy says to: I just take the "non" offender into the other room & offer a toy.
christa says to: She's not opposed to duct tape either!
wendi says to: lol christa
Tiffani says to: If I do that the offender follows and I can't seperate them
myusername says to: At my daycare there is a chalkboard with Kristen's Birthday Countdown lol.
christa says to: lol
twinsmommy says to: Or I'll just play with just the "non" offender until time's up.
babysoup says to: It only takes a few days, we just have to work hard on those days
Tiffani says to: what's wrong with duct tape?
wendi says to: lol
twinsmommy says to: That's the tough part about timeouts - staying put.
soliloquise says to: lol
babysoup says to: velcro
JenJen_26 says to: lol christa..there was a man who was arrested for duct taping his kids a tree for time- out...
twinsmommy says to: Duct Tape! That's a good one.
christa says to: OMG!!!
babysoup says to: Really?
twinsmommy says to: to a tree?? OMG
wendi says to: i want jo to answer for tiff she has wanted this answer for some time
mommy of 3 says to: get out
myusername says to: I tell my daycare kids theres a lion in the kitchen. it works. try the lion technique lol.
soliloquise says to: lmao
Tiffani says to: a lion? I don't get it
christa says to: that's mean Kristen

Jo Frost says to:
Tiff, seperately. Either at the same time in seperate places or one after the other. Whichever will allow you to follow through

christa says to: SHe tries to scare them
JenJen_26 says to: yeah...it was not too far from where i live..
*** (00:50):myusername quit the room
*** (00:50):Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , myusername!
myusername says to: lmao theyre so cute though they egt all big eyed and go woooowww like the lion king?
wendi says to: so maybe ignor ones behavior and deal with one at a time

Jo Frost says to:
I've done it both ways and the point's still made either way

babysoup says to: Wow, tiff we can't joke anymore because someone actually did it
Tiffani says to: But if only one is in the naughty spot, can I put him in his crib to seperate them? My house is small
msbelle08 says to: jo thank you soo much. I truly appreciate any advice you give.
soliloquise says to: madysmum stay strong you can do it, stay consistant and chat on the forum for support these wenches rock :)

Jo Frost says to:
Tiffani, never. Sleep is for sleep and should not be linked to naughty behavior

Tiffani says to: ok, thanks!
wendi says to: good point
twinsmommy says to: We have a small house too. It's hard but can be done.
Mady's Mom says to: thx sol... but how do i continue the technique if it won't go any further? and what do i do about the nightwaking?
Tiffani says to: brb
twinsmommy says to: So, no suggestions on how to handle the biting, JO?
myusername says to: Can we keep this chatroom up all the time for the users too? And there cna be scheduled times for when Jo comes?
soliloquise says to: i only go by what i seen jo do so dont know just dont give up
nfldpenguin says to: I think the chat room would be a great idea
lovemybabe says to: Thanks for all your advice Jo!
soliloquise says to: you will get there
wendi says to: Jo at what age should you prohibit a child from sucking his thumb and what method would you use
Mady's Mom says to: so can i get some advice from jo?
twinsmommy says to: I love chat rooms. they can be tons of fun.
myusername says to: Yeah they are.

Jo Frost says to:
dicipline should not start until two years. Low tone voiceand the repition of moving away is all that's neede dright now Tiffani

soliloquise says to: use her techniques and check youtube they are on there and may be something on there to help you
wendi says to: I told her that Jo...but noooooo she wouldn't listen to me
wendi says to: lol
twinsmommy says to: oh... so time outs for biting at 20 months is a no nol.
myusername says to: lol wendi
Mady's Mom says to: i have checked both and all nothing about it not workingonce getting to the door
Mady's Mom says to: and isn't clear on the nightwaking

Jo Frost says to:
Wendi, ohh can't wait to tell you. That question's been chosen for the July newsletter as it is an extremely common one!

myusername says to: twins she probably doesnt understand the concept of time out yet
JenJen_26 says to: paige lives in time out
wendi says to: awesome...
myusername says to: lmao
JenJen_26 says to: i know that sounds bad but it's true
twinsmommy says to: So, we just let her keep biting & bruising her sister? That doesn't seem right to me.
babysoup says to: Cara is getting better, we haven't been there all week
christa says to: I wa s thinking because they were so close to two it was ok...but I guess 4 months can make a world of difference in their comprehension!

Mady's Mom says to: should i be trying some other technique??
JenJen_26 says to: well that is good christy
soliloquise says to: with nightwaking dont you repeat the same thing ie saying its bedtime at first and leaving then doing same silently so as not to reinforce it?
myusername says to: Redirect her away form ehr sister when it happens.. lower your tone and show her with facial expression you mean business and firmly tell her no, remove her form the other child. Its the best you can do.
wendi says to: Jo it's Wendy...I had to get creative and create a new account to get on here...Just so you know...:)

Jo Frost says to:
ok thanks Wendy! :)

Mady's Mom says to: dont' know not sure and am not getting an answer here
twinsmommy says to: huh... so what do I do?
wendi says to: :)
Tiffani says to: Jo, I don't get it, do they not understand at that age? If Grant gets caught pulling hair, he goes to the naughty spot and sits down.
msbelle08 says to: I have another issue Jo. I struggle to spend time with each of my children. any suggestions?
JenJen_26 says to: lol wendy
christa says to: I would also let her know that that gives boo boo's and we don't want to hurt our sister
soliloquise says to: i thikn jo can only answer one person at a time and this room is busy.
wendi says to: the questions are getting tougher jo...feel the heat
Mady's Mom says to: she will stay in bed at nigthwaking i don't have to stay in room but i have to go into room to lead her back to bed but it happens all nigth long i have been sleeping on the couch to be closer therefore no sleep for me
wendi says to: lol
twinsmommy says to: I've been doing that, the boo boo thing. She seems to understand that boo boo's are not good but then she' goes & bites her....
nfldpenguin says to: yes this room has been very busy. i'm sure Jo is doing her best to answer as many questions as possible.
babysoup says to:I think bedtime is a popular topic!
christa says to:Oh I thank God I don't have that problem with my twins
Tiffani says to: Ben pulls hair and says ouchie at the same time...

Jo Frost says to:
Tiffani, I And how long does he stay in time out for?

GIRLY says to: Jo's ignoring mady's mom
twinsmommy says to: We should do a chat JUST on Bedtime.
Tiffani says to: Jo, one minute
soliloquise says to: no shes not intentionally i am sure. chillllllll folks :P
wendi says to: no...she is trying to get to everyone
wendi says to: patience
wendi says to: :)
soliloquise says to: shes only one woman
christa says to: It is a Virtue
JenJen_26 says to: mady's mom..try postive reinforcement
wendi says to: super woman
myusername says to: Everyone.. give me girl name suggestions.
christa says to: That's what the rest of us are here for too!
twinsmommy says to: Lucille
GIRLY says to: she's the supernanny!!
Mady's Mom says to: tried the stay in bed all nigth get a surprise nothing is working
wendi says to: Lauren
myusername says to: Jo what is your favorite girl name?
nfldpenguin says to: myusername, I just named my daughter Keely
JenJen_26 says to: that is not the positive reinforcement i am talking about

Jo Frost says to:
Tiffani, precisely. he's too young to understand. He's playing a game at this age. Mentally they're too young to understand that their actions have a consequence. However, six more months makes a big difference

nfldpenguin says to: it's an Irish name that means beautiful
msbelle08 says to: I feel very guilty that i don't spend that much time with them.
soliloquise says to: can anyone explain the nightwaking technique to madysmom i only have cats and dogs :)
myusername says to: Which is better out of Delaney, Haven, Giavonna, Larkin
twinsmommy says to: So What's the discipline b/4 2 years old.
babysoup says to: lol
wendi says to: lol

Jo Frost says to:
myusername, I don't have one to be honest.

twinsmommy says to: I like Haven
twinsmommy says to: It's pretty.
soliloquise says to: haven is groovy
JenJen_26 says to: Harley
christa says to: Tiff hear the words that are coming off of her fingers
wendi says to: lol
myusername says to: Yeah if Jo ever has a little girl she is going to name her Kristen... LOL
wendi says to: wake up Kristen
JenJen_26 says to: Kristen you just crack me up!!
JenJen_26 says to: love ya girl
wendi says to: Kristen you scare me
wendi says to: lol
christa says to: LOl
myusername says to: lol yeah Jen sees my true doofyness she is my friend on myspace lol
mommy of 3 says to: lol
Mady's Mom says to: thanx for the try sol.. i have to get the tike into bed now so i haveta go
soliloquise says to: here madysmum lots of links here
JenJen_26 says to: that is right...lol
Tiffani says to: Thank you, Jo! You are fabulous!

JenJen_26 says to: i have facebook now too
wendi says to: counseling?
soliloquise says to: i am starting to go off the idea of having kids lmao
JenJen_26 says to: yes wendi i probably need some of that

Jo Frost says to:
Twinsmommy, all depends what they're doing. I think you have to establish first whether their actions are outright intentional or whether their actions are Curious George. Because part of thier development at this age could be perceived as being michevious and actually they're learning what goes where what's right and wrong and what they can and can't do

twinsmommy says to: I guess the only time they really need it is when I catch them biting or hitting.
wendi says to: good stuff jo
Mady's Mom says to: link didn't work
twinsmommy says to: That is intentional.
myusername says to: Wendy you scare me too =)
Mady's Mom says to: did you just google it?
soliloquise says to: ok do a search for jo frost night waking
soliloquise says to: yup
soliloquise says to: lots of stuff there
soliloquise says to: dont give up
wendi says to: Yeah I scare me too...too...:)

Jo Frost says to:
twinsmommy, then low-toned voice and removing them from the place or situation.

Mady's Mom says to: k will try that hopefully something because i am bout ready jsut to pull the crib back out and hope she forgot she can climb out
myusername says to: lol

Jo Frost says to:
I do not have a technique called the night walking technique

JenJen_26 says to: Jo are you a night owl? I am..
wendi says to: really'
myusername says to: WHats a night owl Jen?
soliloquise says to: you have talked about it though right?
msbelle08 says to: twinsmommy- or throwing! my 20 month old throws food etc
Mady's Mom says to: how do you handle the night waking combined with the other sleep problem?

Jo Frost says to:
Jen_jen, right now I am! :)

twinsmommy says to: Thanks for your time Jo. I'll try. I've seen you work MAGIC so I will try to work your magic here. I MUST have faith in SUPERNANNY!!!!:D
wendi says to: lol
christa says to: Jo do you have a scheduled New York trip lined up again? Some of us would really love to make it out as a group to see you.
JenJen_26 says to: LOL JO...i am totally a night person!!

Jo Frost says to:
twinsmommy, have faith in yourself first and then me after! :)

wendi says to: Jo now the heat is really on...

Jo Frost says to:
that equals results!

myusername says to: I am a night person except when I need to be at work or school at the buttcrack of dawn.
babysoup says to: That is true!
twinsmommy says to: Thanks JO. I'll have to remember that tomorrow when the whole thing starts over again!!!
JenJen_26 says to: that doesn't matter with me..i stay up all night a lot!

Jo Frost says to:
Christa, like I mentioned to everybody on the website, the idea sounds great of meeting up with you guys, however my first obligation right now is to continue traveling around American helping families literally across one end of the country to the other and hopefully, we will have the chance to do that as it sounds a good idea. Never mind the roundtable of King Arthur, I think the roundtable of nanny Jo sounds good! :)

*** (01:07):lovemybabe quit the room

Jo Frost says to:
mominwisconsin, quite a few of the Supernanny mums participate on the website. I'm sure if you need to ask questions about the show they would be glad to answer -- but it does take willing parents to want o me there in the forst place. It wouldn't be fair on your partner if they didn't want to do it but you did.

christa says to: yes..if he his no idea...it might be a shock to him
mommy of 3 says to: i am painting my toes while looking at what everyone is saying
nfldpenguin says to: Jo, I know you are extremely busy, do you ever get time to read the posts in the forum?
