   Good article! as always your writing is great. I KNOW I need mini Mom time-outs…it’s allowing myself to do it is the hard part. Thanks Laura!

   I’ve given myself time outs before and the kids think it’s the strangest thing. Sometimes it better for all of us.

   Hi Laura! I was just reading a great book (Discipline without Distress) and they talk a lot about a mommy time out. It’s funny to see you blogging about it. I hope all is well with you!
