I yet have to meet mothers who will tell me that they haven’t had any experience of timeout. At 23 months when this video was taken. the temper tantrums are getting more frequent. I find myself frustrated most of the time. So… I thought of putting one of their playpens outside the house (just near the front door actually) and stick the twins in there while their little laptop is playing a Disney movie. The timeout usually last from one to two hours. If I’m lucky, they eventually take a one-hour nap and I get an extra hour to read, cook, or watch a movie online. 06 June 2015
