LOL, I am with Dr Phil on that one! The thing which makes me know it is working with my son (also 4) is that he will go through the entire repetoire of my buttons including claiming to feel sick to try and get out of time out. The only way to make it work is to face him down and let him do WHAT HE LIKES to try and get round it but not budge until he is quiet for 15-20 secs. The more I have done this the quicker he has become at just settling down "doing his time" and getting on with life.
