Time outs work most of the time, she stays for at least 2 minutes and I ask if she's ready she says yes and we talk or she says no, we wait until she's ready

for the most part. but now that i don't have him very much in the summer it gets worse and now he just screams, hits things, don't listen what so ever

I dont spank or use force against my kids. We take time outs and then talk it out.

I love this one. I used to set a time limit for these. But I have found it works better if they are put in time out and told that once they are ready to talk to you about why they are there it works even better. This way they are given the chance to calm themselves down. And they decide how long to stay there. When they are finally ready to come out. Sit down to their level listen to them and discuss what happened. With older kids have them do most of the talking.
