Teddy is sent to the naughty corner!
I really wasn’t sure if sending 3yo to the naughty corner was working. He sometimes puts himself there. Sometimes tries to send me there. Then he sent his Teddy there, this is the story…
3yo and Teddy were having a nice game of pretend driving. They were going to the shops. 3yo asked Teddy to put his seatbelt on. This of course is a sensible request of any driver to their passenger – safety should always come 1st!
Except – shock horror – Teddy said “NO!”
Oh dear.
3yo dragged Teddy to the door. “Naughty corner Teddy.” “Stay there.”
3yo came back to the living room and got on with tidying his pretend car. Then after the required time, he went back to Teddy. “You sorry Teddy?”
It appears Teddy WAS sorry, he got a hug and he returned to the game. Both got into the pretend car, put on their pretend seat belts, and drove to the pretend shops.
What did I learn?
- Always do as I am told by 3yo, or I will end up in the naughty corner.
- Always put your seatbelt on when driving.
- Imagination is WONDERFUL!
- Discipline has sunk in. 3yo DOES understand.
3yo is very wise indeed, as is Teddy for doing as he’s told. Lovely post.

Thanks CJ, yes sometimes he is wise way beyond his years… sometimes not!
Poor Teddy! He looks so sad to be in the naughty corner. I hope he learnt his lesson.
Thanks Liz, Teddy has learnt his lesson – he always puts his seatbelt on now!
Oh this did make me laugh. My two year old sends me and my husband to the naughty corner for our crimes – the refusal to sing Heartbeat is treated very strictly in our house!
We regularly have a traffic jam of small cars on our naughty step. Poor old teddy, he does look sorry.
