Let me clarify from my earlier post, Hailey really is a great and doesn't do anything exceptionally bad, but she does test her limits and have a small temper, which is normal at this age, but when it goes to far I am trying to let her know its unacceptable. That is why we go to a quiet corner. I figure we are at least letting her know to calm down and that behavior is unacceptable. At this age I don't know how effective it is, but at least we are setting a small standard early.
And a cute story from this morning ... I get up at 5:50a to get ready for work and I wake her up around 6:15a ... after changing we go out and she gets some milk. She was a little whining this morning (as we all are at this time of morning) so I asked her whats wrong and in a little baby voice she looks at me and says "I tired". My heart melted! I knew what was wrong, but to hear her respond to my question and tell me was priceless.

I know you have probably already tried this but redirection. Like when she throws a toy or whatever take it away and get her interested in something else. Try it after the time out.
hey. i don't know if you read this aricle: http://www.babycenter.com/0_the-discipline-tool-kit-successful-strategies-for-every-age_1475318.bc
I'm gonna try some of it with Adia.
Just remember. Only a couple more years till the toddler years end. (Bad thing and a good thing)
