Sometimes squirmy toddlers and kids wiggle their way out of their car seats or learn to unbuckle the straps. Instead of trying to reach behind you and make the needed adjustments, you should pull the car over as soon as you possibly can in a safe spot. Do not attempt to strap your child in while the car is still moving.

If you are not consistent with your expectations, it could cause your child to get confused and not know what it expected of them.

For an alternative to traditional timeouts, make a "mind jar" by filling a mason jar with water and a scoop of glitter. Tighten the lid securely. When your child needs some time to reflect on his or her actions or feels angry, shake the jar to stir the glitter, and have your child sit and hold the jar as he or she watches the glitter fall to the bottom. By the time the glitter settles, your child's mood will have settled, too.
