Re: How would you have handled this situation?
I put her back as many times as I have to until she stays, but I say nothing bc it's the reaction that she's trying to get from me. it's rare she gets up now.

Re: How would you have handled this situation?
When T gets up out of TO, I continuously put him back even if it is 5 times or more. I get increasingly angry and yell at him to stay on that step. He eventually does. This probably isn't the best way... but it's been working for me.
I think Happies Toddler on the Block actually suggests gating the child into his room if he/she won't sit for time outs.

It's so the age. We're going through the exact same thing. Sometimes, DS will even run from me if I tell him to go to time out! He knows that if I'm taking care of the twins, I can't always run after him. 
Definatley try the super nanny style! It works!!! (for the most part)

I'll have to try this but without the yelling... I'll try saying nothing. That sounds just like T... it's the reaction he wants... Everything is a power struggle with him too... We are going through a very rough "phase" (I hope)....

I'd tell them to listen to Daddy & we'll speak after time out.
Kudos to your kid for the attempt at manipulating...it's definitely an art to be mastered

I ignore it. Ava does it every, single time she's in time out. When she's in that time out spot, there's not much she can do or say that will get me to respond to her bc, imo, it's a diversion tactic on her part.
how do you handle it when she will NOT stay in time out...she continues to get up, come to me while screaming and crying and carrying on
I literally put her back in time out 10 times the other day and she STILL would not stay put
WHAT DO I DO, she obviously is not getting it
Oh, she gets it. Lol.
Lance started doing that too. Leaving TO, or opening the door, screaming, etc... So I'm using a new method.
The take a toy method...
First he gets a TO as usual. If you act up in TO, I take a toy... You lose that toy for the day. The other day he lost 8 toys for the whole day. The day after 2 toys, and a Dora dvd, plus no Dora on TV for the whole day.
If we are in a store, I take a toy in place of TO.
It seems to be working. It was getting a little OOC. He's been soooo much worse since Grace, and she's 7 months already. 
I like this idea-tell her if she doesn't do her time a toy gets taken away.
