We have done this. I also do nose to the wall time out, but for my little Camden either sings, plays with the wall or falls asleep against the wall.
Well, I have come with a time out solution that is really working for us when both kids are making bad choices. Nose to nose time out! So what do the children have to do to get the nose to nose time out? Fight, argue or not being kind to each other. They hate it and if I threat it once, they quickly find a way to fix their problems together. I secretly smile every time the nose to nose has to happen. I can't imagine having to do this with my brother when I was little. For now the nose to nose is working, but it seems like we have to continually evolve the time outs and loss of privileges to keep them effective.

I can't believe you can get your kids to do this. I think G. would start bashing his head against B's if I made them touch faces. Those are great pictures.
I'm glad you found something that works so well. I will have to try it with my boys, but like Carissa, I see them bashing heads and slapping each other as result.
Wow! You are such a creative Mom. I think your out ideas are great. Keep up the good work.

Oops, I meant to say time out.
I like that idea. I think we should try having B & G touch noses. Whenever they play together, which is quite often, G always ends up crying about something that B did or that he felt she shouldn't have done. -Russell
