How do you discipline when all 3 are getting into trouble? We usually do time-outs but that is difficult when all 3 are in time-out at the same time. We don't have to put them in timeout often and usually it is one at a time but yesterday morning all 3 of them had to go into time out and they thought it was a game not discipline.

I haven't had all three in trouble at the same time, but I've had two. I usually put one in the "time out" chair and one stands in the corner in a completely separate room from the first one. Or you could do what I do when my son won't sit int he timeout chair. I carry him (usually screaming - him, not me) up to his crib and I shut the door to his room. He knows we mean real business when he's being taken up to his room for punishment. Mine are in separate rooms, so if I had to punish all three, I would put them in their cribs in their respective rooms. HTH.

I don't have any advice because I can't get my three to stay in time out! The only place that works is in their room with the door shut.

When they were younger, time outs were in their high chairs downstairs ( I could roll them where ever we wanted them to be) and in their cribs upstairs. Now we use various corners in our house, depending where we are at.
