Thinking Pond
Jo: "In the afternoon, Mum wanted Stephanie to turn off 'The Electric Company'. However, Stephanie wasn't in agreement with that plan.

Charity: "Stephanie, it's time to turn the TV off."

Stephanie: "But I'm watching The Electric Company!"

Charity: "Stephanie, you can't watch TV all afternoon. You have to play too."

[Stephanie pulls Charity's hair]

Charity: "Ouch! Stephanie, that wasn't okay!"

Jo: "I would like you to give Stephanie a warning for her behavior right now. If she continues to be naughty, follow through with the Thinking Pond."

Charity: "Stephanie, I need you to listen to Mommy. If you continue to misbehave, I will be taking you to the Thinking Pond."

Jo: "Stephanie didn't listen to the warning, so it was straight to the Thinking Pond."

Stephanie: "Go away, Mommy!"

[Stephanie jumps up on the new couch with her muddy shoes on]

Charity: "To the Thinking Pond, let's go."

[Charity places Stephanie on the Thinking Pond]

Charity: "You will stay here for 4 minutes."
