Time Out

Time Out I am only 4 years old. I like me and my world. I am still learning I have learned to know my behavior limits. I have learned to respect others. I have learned to let me ego relax. When my ego overpowers my will My parents respond with a disciplinary action. I am sent far away from my egocentric world I don’t like to stand by the corner of the room It is better than being struck However it makes me feel lonely it makes me feel helpless It makes me feel voiceless. I am only 4 years old I am still learning. I like me. I have learned to respect others. I may earn a respect by doing this. I have learned the rules that govern our household. I will avoid confrontation with my parents. If my ego overtakes my will, I will be patient. It takes a repetition of mistakes to learn. It takes harship to acquire knowledge. I am only 4 years old. My parents apparently know this. I feel at times they are unreasonable. I don’t like to be disciplined. Because I am still 4 yeas old I should be given time to learn by myself.
