Toddlers hate being separated from you more than just about anything in the whole world. I find it to be very effective.

Agreed. Sometimes he howls like a madman and screams until I come get him. Usually by then he's very sorry and gives me a really big hug around the neck.
I should have known something was off when complete silence followed this timeout though.
You know what drives me nuts lately is the negotiating. "But Mommy, how come you get a bigger dessert than me, mine was so so tiny tiny." *pointer and thumb showing me just how SMALL her dessert was*
"Mommy I will stop whining if you give me some licorice?"
