Tammy is the creator of the Time Out Blanket MY SAFE SPACE.  MY SAFE SPACE is a Time Out Blanket for parents to use as a tool in providing consequences and consistency for their young children.

WHY USE MY SAFE SPACE BLANKET FOR TIME OUTS?

            Now you might ask, why should you use MY SAFE SPACE BLANKET?

           Using the MY SAFE SPACE BLANKET for Time Outs can have many benefits.

•  The MY SAFE SPACE Blanket gives you as a parent/guardian, a consistent space and parenting tool to use.  Your child will always know that when they are given a Time Out, this is where they will spend that time.  The MY SAFE SPACE name is to let them know that even though they are receiving a consequence for their behavior, they are in fact in "MY SAFE SPACE".
• The MY SAFE SPACE Blanket is portable.  No matter where you are, whether you are in your own home or your child is spending the night with their grandparents, the MY SAFE SPACE Blanket can go with them.  This lets them know that no matter where they are, the expectations are the same as are the consequences for any behavior that is unacceptable.
• The MY SAFE SPACE Blanket can be picked up or laid down at a moment's notice in the room you have designated ahead of time.
• The MY SAFE SPACE Blanket is not a chair that can be thrown or a bed that can be jumped on.  It is a soft, portable and machine-washable blanket.  While it may provide comfort to your child when they are in Time Out, this is not the primary function of the blanket.  It is to identify for your child a safe, consistent place in which they will be spending their Time Out.

MY SAFE SPACE

This is where I go to think when things aren't going well. 

When I feel angry, mad or sad or, like I want to yell. 

 I'm sometimes here to calm myself, to take deep breaths or count to ten.  But, other times I may be here to help me learn to listen. 

No matter what it was I did, or how I got to this place.  I know this is where I go to think, it really is

MY SAFE SPACE.
