Hi. Within our setting we have what is called a 'Time Out Bear'. This is a very large teddy bear in a corner of the room with a chair next to it. We use the bear not only positively but negatively too. When a child is silly or misbehaving we ask the child to go and sit next to the thinking bear, usually between its legs. A member of staff then sits next to the bear and child on the chair. The child is then left to think about what they have done and to talk to the thinking bear if they wish. They also have the opportunity to talk to ourselves also if they wish. The bear is also used positively, eg., What do you think the bear is thinking about today? Bear wants everyone to be good children today and make him happy. I do hope this gives you help in your situation.
