Today I was re-purposing our daughter's Time Out corner

It's a little alcove in the hallway where a fireplace once stood. We put a beanbag and some blankets there for when she needs to calm down, think things through, or "practise being quiet". I thought as she will turn 15 this month she may have outgrown it. Daughter was not happy and asked me what she is supposed to do when she is in a bad mood and nothing is going right? Idk, lurk moodily at the bottom of the garden like other teenagers 🤷‍♀

Anyhow, the beanbag has now been reinstated. And daughter now has a peace lily and a Swiss cheese plant to keep her company next time she pays a visit 😌

I had a tree I would climb when I was that age and in a bad mood…..never had a time out corner, my parent would say “ go climb your tree”.

@FreeSpirit1 A tree sounds a great idea for a teenager. Just far enough part for you to have your own space for a little bit.

I loved climbing trees when I was younger. Not so good at getting back down again though 🤦‍♀

@FreeSpirit1 I still climb trees sometimes as It's fun and I also LOVE hanging upside down by my knees from tree branches! 🙃🙃🙃
