Blanket Time is a simple concept to getting your kids to listen.
Place a Blanket on the floor, have your toddler sit with a few toys and they do not get off until MOM says.
Doing this on a regular basis anywhere from 10 min - 1 hr will help your kids with their ability to focus, lengthen their attention span, self entertain,and teach them to listen to their parents!

The comments are breaking my heart!!!! How could anyone let a child cry????? :( Goes against every human instinct. As for BabyWise it's a HORRIBLE book and even the AAP says it's practices damaging. I'm not saying you're a bad mom. You're probably a great mom. I'm just not okay with promotion of a book I feel teaches abuse. Calluses children aren't what this world needs ((MOTHER OF 3))
This is sick. Kids aren't meant to sit still. Kids are meant to explore, run, laugh, play. Dogs need to be obedient not children. You are literally teaching them to not have curiosity or explore their world. Gross.
Laura Slaunwhite it's just an hour max for god's sake. Unclench your butt.
How sad:(
What a stressful way to live....I am so glad I wasn’t exposed to this when I was a new mother because I think it would’ve appealed to me for selfish and controlling reasons.
The whole scene of this looks so depressing.
That’s because it’s child abuse.
She should take this video down and stop teaching abuse, get a playpen for which no fear or punishment is needed, and stop breeding
@@Sylvia-ly2qeno it’s not how is sitting a child on a blanket child abuse that makes no sense
@@Lex-gq3rbshe neglects them. She leaves them on the blanket for an hour or more and punishes them if they leave it. Despicable behavior on her end. There are far better ways to parent and this isn’t it.
@@Mandafina leaving your kid on a blanket for a hour is no different then lending them in a cot or swing for a hour people need to stop over using the word abuse because then when people who actully are getting abused by parents it’s down played everything can not be abuse
Wow. Ignoring child development and being a selfish mom all in one.
Ella Britain You're an idiot
I love that you are teaching your kids manners and behavior. Great example
Not sure those are even things these days anymore haha
Shaileen and Kurt Vlogs they should be
Yes!!! I'm so glad that there are parents out there who are exercising obedience and patience to children. So many children DO NOT know how to sit still, honestly because they were never taught. Awesome, all for it.
actually to pick apart this moment 6:34 where she waits to get home that's negative on a child they DO NOT fully understand their wrong doings no matter what this shelter sweet speaking momma tells them I'm assuming she doesn't say much but more so spanks them.
Thank you for this video! I have a very active very loud very high energy 3 year old. Yesterday I tried this so I could have 10 minutes to finish my older child's school snack and it totally worked I couldn't believe the 3yo sat on the blanket quietly for 10 whole minutes! Thank you for saving my mind yesterday!
I love your attitude toward parenting and if you come across an issue you don't stay frustrated with it you take the time to figure it out and show your kids that all things in life worth doing are worth giving your all. You are patient and that shows them to be patient as well, it's totally brilliant and you are an amazing Mother for it! Kudos. :)
I don't have kids, but I love this idea! I will differently use this in the future!!
I think I'm gonna give this a try with my daughter who is 21 months old. I love the bloopers. Lol. Sometimes when it's so quiet, or the kids are calm I am the same way haha. Lose my train of thought and just enjoy the silence.
poor babies! glad she's not my mom!! seems like torture!
I absolutely love this, I am not a mom yet but my husband and I are starting to talk babies! I think it's great that you teach your kids to be obedient and to listen, it shows that you care to teach your kids manners. You are an awesome mom Bonnie! I love watching your vlogs!
Careful about strict obedience. It's good to let kids develop independence.
Do u ever reverse it and tell them mommy needs blanket time? LoL i would
LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU!!! I have a 17 old month and a 4 year old and I cant take them out! even at church they are running around like crazy and go through all the toys in 10 min! I am starting blancet time!!!!!! thank you!!!
I'm a pregnant Sahm of a 3 1/2 year old and a 2 year old and they, are, WILD! Ha! I am willing to try anything! I usually will set out WASHABLE markers and colors for my 2 yr old daughter who loves to color and my son his tractors or football guys. I'm so going to try this! I'm Hoping this works so when baby comes they can have 'blanket time' while I'm feeding or doing something with new baby. Thanks so much for the idea Bonnie!
The ORIGINAL "Blanket Training" method (using a rod to beat the child if they move off the blanket, as young as 6 months, until they literally stay on the blanket out of sheer terror), let's be honest, is just flat out abuse, and very damaging to children. However if, and only IF, blanket "time" is done correctly, mindfully, compassionately, and responsibly, it can be a helpful time for children. It is very clear to me that Bonnie is an amazing mom, and her kids are proof of that. She is doing "blanket time" in a way that is beneficial to her children, not harmful. A half-hour to an hour of "quiet time" each day is not abusing your children, certainly not when you are providing them with a way to entertain themselves and then they spend the rest of the day free to run about and play with each other. Children SHOULD learn the skill of how to entertain themselves, and how to self soothe (obviously not too early). I grew up as an only child, and I spent A LOT of my time playing by myself and entertaining myself. While my mother never used "blanket time", she certainly made sure that I learned how to listen and behave myself when we were out in public, and at home. It wasn't abuse for me to quietly play by myself, and I learned valuable life skills because of it. If you watch Bonnie's vlogs, you can see that her children are always playing with each other and their cousins and friends. They are always entertained with activities or playing outside, being creative, using their imagination, and getting their hands dirty. I don't believe that Bonnie is using "blanket time" for purely selfish reasons. It has benefits for both the mother, AND the child. She is flexible with it, and adjusts the time based on how the child is feeling/doing. In my opinion, she is doing everything right. As a parent, you get to decide how you choose to raise your children. If you don't like it or it doesn't work for your family, then don't do it. It's that simple. But all of these accusations that Bonnie is a bad parent and damaging her children are out of line. While I don't agree with the majority of information or methods that Babywise preaches, I believe that certain methods and techniques can be altered to where they CAN be effective and beneficial to children, and to me, Bonnie has presented a perfect example of how to change a once harmful and damaging method into something that is now beneficial to her children and family. Like I said, that is just my opinion, and EVERYONE is welcome to make their own parenting decisions and raise their children how they see fit. :)
Brittany exactly. I don't believe Bonnie is using this in a method that hits or abuses the child, I think it is her way of the kiddos having quiet time. No different then having they sit in their bed for an hour to read or color or some other quiet activity.
Now for those that hit or do this in infancy, that is a whole other topic. Like Bonnie said she starts around 18 months, which is about the time we started doing quiet time. Her children are obviously allowed to run around and play and be loud, but teaching children there are certain times to be quiet is also a good thing.
I wish I would have known blanket time when my daughter was litttle.one. she is now 19. I love the method of blanket time. Bonnie you are Awesome and I love all 4 of your kids.
Cheyne The book the original poster is mentioning is Train Up a Child by Michael and Debi Pearl. Brittany did start out with mentioning that book. She ended her post praising the lady for being a good, kind and consistent mother.
Boston in the glasses is just too adorable!!!!! can't help but smile (:
You're such a natural youtuber! I think this idea is awesome!!
Bostin is so cute and linkin is so adorable and alivier and really nice and Cody is so talkative around people and they all play together nicely
I have a 12 month old baby boy who is into everything! Blanket time is a great idea, i will be sure to practice this with my boy. Great parenting tip! Thanks Bonnie x
If I was you I would let my kids play together when there on the blanket because that teaches them social skills but at the same time you want them to learn how to entertain them selves how come you do not want them to play together during blanket time
Hi Bonnie, I have a question for you. When you film these videos which you are looking at the camera giving your viewers information, do you ever write or look at script? I am trying to start my RUclips channel that has teaching component and I have a very hard time speaking without scripts! I forget things I wanted to say. So I would appreciate it if you can share how you perfectly shoot these videos. Is it something people get better over time and it is ok to start with sort of memorizing a script or some people are just good at speaking without scripts to begin with? You look absolutely beautiful in this video and the way you speak is very natural. Thanks, Bonnie!
I loved this video.. I wish I knew this when my son was young.. LOL Oh and i forgot to say Congratulations on the new baby on board..
You are such a great mom, with happy healthy well minded kids! I love how real u are. Please keep sharing parenting tips and tricks. I am a slightly "older" new mom with a 1 yr old baby boy & a baby girl coming at the end of May! I can use all the help I can get!
You are one best of a mommy. my sister needs to see this. her kids... ahhhhhhh. total chaos
You are inspiring. In a world where I see things going so wrong (no rules, no consequences, even society trying to blur the concept of right and wrong) you are boldly doing what is right. I have been getting a little depressed at how crazy things are getting but to see you so confidently being an "in charge" parent, a parent in control of her children without apology...you have restored my hope. I wish there were more people like you (this is my first video, I might be stating the obvious but I am guessing you are a Christian. Not a twice a year Christian but a true, live it everyday Christian. We need more of that as well, I think the loss of that is why we are in such a terrible way) anyway, I just loved everything about you so I had to tell you. Thank you for making me feel more positive, keep it up, you are doing a wonderful thing:)
I wish I had known of this when my kiddos were smaller. I'm dying from laughter at a)Boston and the sunglasses and b) the bloopers. Have a great week!!!
This is genius Bonnie! My baby is 11months now, but I will definitely try this once she is a little older.
I love this! My 3 year old recently decided he wasn't going to nap anymore and it was a BIG struggle/nightmare for a few weeks lol so started doing quiet time instead but im going to try blanket time..it seems like a really good way for him to get calm time alone and rest a bit while I do what ever I need to do. He also is bad about running around at the doctors so hopefully this'll help. Hes a really good boy and listens the majority of the time but id like for him to be able to sit still if I need him to. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely would watch daily vlogs but I get it if you don't have time.. Being a mom is number one! You just have such an infectious laugh & great personality. LOVE your family 😘. That includes your extended family too! 😊
Good for you Bonnie for finding something that works. I've never heard of this. I have been in the ECE field for 20 yrs and I have never had the success of having a child sit for that amount of time. Kuddos to you. My daughter is 7 and I am VERY fortunate that I never experienced her not listening or sitting when we were out. She just sat with her books or toys with out me having to struggle with her. Its nice to see there something out there for parents that struggle with this problem. Thank you for sharing, it was interesting to see and hear about.
Bonnie you should start daily vlogs please I wanna see more of you your husband and the kids 😁😍😁😍
Like so she can see 😁
Yes that be perfect but it demande alot of work
Why didn't I know about this before. Never to old to start lol. This will save me my insanity most days with 2 boys ages 5 and 4 and a baby girl 7 months when she is older.
Hi Bonnie. This is my first time commenting although I've been watching your videos for about 5 months. I have 4 grown children who were each born approx 10 months after another! Believe me, my hands were FULL and I wish I'd known about this technique.
It looks like you are raising happy, healthy, well behaved children (although from experience your glass dining table scares the heck out of me sometimes). 😱
Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your future adventures. Happy New Year to your lovely family. xx
We've been doing this for years and it's been INVALUABLE for teaching Bradli patience, boundaries and self-play. I'm so thankful we utilized this from BW, along with several of the other tips. And I'm glad you're sharing your experience too!
Love this. You're probably gonna catch some flack for it, but like you said, "to each his own." Your kids seem awesome. You seem like an awesome mom.
I don't have kids yet but this is a very smart idea. Great job with being consistant more parents need to be.
Boston looks so cute in his sunglasses
Doing this for sure! I think self entertaining is so healthy and will set them up to be at peace with themselves ! We have so many distractions today and this is good life training!!
I hope you didn’t
Great idea wish I knew this when my boys were small..not too sure at 16 and 17 I can do this lol. Love your bloopers.
I love this!!! I am so doing this with my kids!! My youngest is 17 months old and I think he could totally benefit from this. I am going to start as soon as we get home from Stake Conference tomorrow. Oh, and I LOVE your hair in this video! You should do a video on how to do it! It looks fairly simple, but super cute! As a mom of 3 and little time to myself, I need something cute and simple.
I'm actually going to see if I can get my 5 year old and 8 year old to do this too. ;)
Why have I only just found this video! Bonnie you may have just changed my life!! 😎
My youngest just turned two last month on the 2nd. I am at the point where at the doctors he is running around not minding and I'll leave the appointment in tears or at a restaurant, I'll even bring a bag full of toys that last 2 mins literally. I am also 34weeks pregnant. I never thought of "blanket time" but have used baby wise for sleep. My question is; do you think by 6 weeks my son will fully understand the concept so that when the baby is born I can take advantage of it for appointments or even trying to get ready since he will be ripping the bathroom apart and chasing him around the house.
Thank you for the video, it couldn't have came in a better time of need.
Great adaptation of the method! Bonnie is clearly a loving and attentive mother. Hats off!
I love you... Your awesome. Your parenting is what mine is with my nieces and nephew. My husband and I are TTC.. So congrats on your AWESOME news. So happy for you.I'm so happy to know I'm not the only boundary setting one out here still.
did anyone else notice the huge black cat in the yard at 1:37 I almost thought you got a pet.... wow bonnie looks so good.... lots of love
+Mary Kariuki yes omg i was like what is that
Yes I did! I hope it was a cat! 😳
I was one of the ones who was intrigued when I saw this...SUCH A GREAT IDEA! It's such a great life lesson I think. Forde's only 8 months but I'm TOTALLY going to start this when he's 18 months. Thanks for sharing this!!
Elle Lindquist I ❤️ your channel
That is something I would have done when my kids were growing up. Great job.
You are so cute, Bonnie. Your kids looks so happy :-)
Quite a good idea I hadn't heard of it before it's an important thing for children to learn ,in a way you wouldn't have them making a mess everywhere you go
You are a great mom! I was raised this way and I plan to raise my kids this way! Great way to teach children discipline!
you are great mom.
LOVE this idea! I have four kids ages 4, 3, 2, and a 2 week old! It really is hard to keep my sanity around here! Im def going to try this and I REALLY appreciate this video! Thank you!!
You explained this so thoughtfully and articulately. I've been asked why we do BT and I just kinda blink and blurt out "because I say so". Please consider doing a whole series on Babywise.
Such a good idea! People it's only an hour it's not all day they can still run around the rest of the day! Great work bonnie!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
***** hoellinyou sound JUST LIKE Ellie!! I looked away from watching the video for a moment and thought to myself "wait I'm not watching Ellis channel" and had to second glance I had it on the right video! Lol.. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Yes! They sound so similar and also make similar expressions and gestures!
they are sisters
Sent this to my kids. Thought it was awesome.
I'm the second oldest of six, my mom used to have quiet time everyday. The little kids had their nabs well the older kids sat on the couch with books. So glad you've found this and are using it!!
Seriously i love this so much! i watched it when it first came out (before i had my son) and i just watched it again to reference when i should start blanket time. I did have a few questions about how to start, i was wondering do you use the same blanket every time? also how often do you do it? like once a day or more? i totally want to do this and want it to work i think its an awesome way to teach independent play and early discipline without really having to discipline. Also thanks for the tip on not saying anything until you get home as to not embarrass your kids. i am so going to try my best to remember that. i think its such an important smart way to do things!
Such a great idea! My son will be 2 in March, is it too late for me to start with him?
My other son is only 2 months old so do you suggest I start around 18 months or so?
Maybe even before 18 months if you make it comfortable for him and you, start being close to him, but letting him know that now it's a "me" time. As soon as you start, he will understand that it's good and ok to be and play by himself sometimes, and that it doesn't mean momma is not there for him
I'm wondering if Bonnie does blanket time with Lincoln. I've not seen this in any of her more recent videos so I doubt if she's continuing this. I wonder.
Oh my goodness I clicked on this video thinking that Boston was Lincoln!
I love this! I only have a one month old, but I'm definitely going to remember this! Thank you! And I love your hair! I'm always so jealous of women who can make their buns look so good. Mine always looks so bad... What's supposed to be a quick hair style for when you are short on time takes me a half an hour to try to do and it still ends up looking not cute.
I have never heard of this parenting idea! What an awesome concept!
Love this idea. I have a 2,4,6 year olds and I need something like this to be able to have them sit calmly while I get some things done or phone calls made!
Is this something you do daily?
Omg this just popped up on my feed, this was the first video I ever saw, and I’ve been hooked on this channel ever since! Love you Bonnie
I know this is an older video but I LOVE this idea. my eldest more so than the younger one has a terrible time keeping still but is still young enough I think I can still make this work... THANK YOU BONNIE!
I love this!! My kids are all grown, do you think this would work for husbands?! 😉
I love Boston photobombing with the glasses!!
I also love that you're doing videos more often! Keep 'em coming!
Boston with the glasses was hilarious!
It was hilarious too when boston put the box on top of his head lol
Good luck getting them OFF the couch, hahaha
Boston with those sunglasses...haha!
Ok I officially love you!! Please do more mommy vidoes. I really like your parenting style. Great advise and such cute kids.
Loved the bloopers at the end :) Thanks for the video, it's such a great tip. Definitely will try.
I remember my mom doing almost the exact same thing with my little brother! He was not a good napper but he was cranky from being tired and still very much needed a nap, so she would get his bean bag and sit him down for a "movie nap." He had to sit there for the duration of his "movie" (more like a 15 minute episode or video) and then go to sleep. Thank you for being a parent that actually parents!
Im always very sceptical of BabyWise purely from a professional stand point.
But working in a preschool, the contrast between the children that were taught to respect adults and behave in an appropriate and well mannered way and the kids that were taught that their parents are their friends and that they are allowed what they want when they want it is HUUUGE.
big clap for you Bonnie because you are raising brilliant kids that are loved and happy, you've managed to find a great balance :)
haha cody running around at the perfect timing to you talking!! I was thinking about trying this, thanks for sharing.
Bonnie,you are the mom I have the highest respect for!I'm not a mom but,the way you parent I love it.
At first did your children think this was a game? I have a 26 month old and a 4 month old...would be soooooooo handy to do this. x
I cannot speak enough of the overall importance of training children to be able to be still, quiet, self-entertaining, etc. It trains them for good manners, for church, school, waiting in the doctor's office, travel by plane, train, car, bus, and establishes in them the ability to self-soothe and lengthens their attention span.. We're not talking about hours and hours of blanket training a day, but beginning with short periods. It establishes in them, as they grow into adulthood, to have inner discipline and obedience. It is not cruel. It does not involve corporal punishment. This mom is doing so many good things with her little ones. It's not much different than putting them in a playpen, which I guess have gone away with the dinosaurs! This is the type of child-training that many people are placing their children in karate for....letting someone else train their children! You go, mama!
Boston looks so small in this video little cutie 😚
Hey
Bonnie; I just wanted to say that you are such a brave woman who never gives up even though you have another human being inside. THANKS FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE!!!!N
BTW, same thing to your great husband!!! ;))
This is amazing and you're amazing! Love your videos, Bonnie. Can't wait for your pregnancy update!
Omg such a great idea, I wish I had that when my kids were little I have 4 with no help except for the three days I worked!!! Wow differently is the best idea ever😉 and now you will need it more then ever with your forth baby on the way!!! Congrats
I love this idea! I am SOOO doing this when I have kids! Thanks Bonnie :)
How long did you do the 10-15mins before you bumped them up to more time? And then How long when they got to an hour did you sit right there with them? I love this so I can clean, talk on the phone or cook dinner that's when I have the most problems.
Your house always looks so clean! What's your secret!? Please do a video on your cleaning schedule etc. I have 4 children ages 3 months to 8 years old and I'm overwhelmed with trying to keep my house clean. Please help!
Great idea! Bloopers were funny when you were just frozen staring into space hahaha.
Never heard of blanket time but this is a really good idea! Thank you!
I absolutely love this and will DEFINITELY be using this on my future kids.
I'm a new subbie by the way and also new to making youtube videos. Wishing you all the best with your channel and so happy for the success you're already having!
Ok..I'm a stay at home mom with three. My son will be five in a few weeks, and I wish I would have done something like this! He is a beautiful and SUPER strong-willed boy. I imagine it's too late :-(. How would this work for my two year old if her older brothers are busy? Do older kids ever BEG to get off?
Love this! I have a baby on the way and can't wait to try this with them in the future!!
Can't wait for baby 4 and omg u are such amzing parent you sound strict by your parenting ways but not overly my sister so needs to be a mom like you cuz her kids are wild
You look so beautiful Bonnie!!
What a great idea! Once my daughter is a little bit bigger i will be doing this! One thing i really liked when i used to babysit a little girl and her brother was that they had "quiet time" everyday, their mom would put them each in their own room and tell them we are going to have quiet time and they were able to play with few toys or read a book but the whole point was to self entertain and keep them in one area while things got done around the house. Great advice, cant wait to try this.
This seems like an amazing idea.
Oh this is a brilliant idea that i have never heard of... So good.to.see.Boston so young and to listen to u to stay. Great video. Also loove ur hair and the bloopers :))
Bonnie... You are so beautiful ... talented & soooo funny! Love the bloopers 😂😂😂
Thanks for this great advice!!! I'm going to start this with my son who is 19 months!! Please do more videos like this.
She threatens them before a doctor's appointment?
Boston with those glasses at the end 😂 to cute
