Time out

So Maggie likes to hit and it hurts! Lately (as in today) I've been trying to redirect her with a "time out.". The time out usually consists of me placing her hands in her lap and sitting her away from the person she is hitting. She doesn't like it but so far it hasn't stopped the hitting. She usually gets up and walks immediately back to the person (usually Max) and begins hitting again while staring me in the face. So it's OBVIOUS she knows it's bad behavior - the power struggle has begun! As you can see from the pictures, she does not enjoy the time outs but as I just said it doesn't appear as if they are working yet. I have a feeling things may get worse before they get better (for both of us).

Here are a few pictures from her time outs today. It's so sad (but funny). Check out the lip!!

Pray for Maggie (and me) ;)

Love to you all!
