Aunt Cindy has gone through a few coffee tables. She baby sits children and the kids manage to destroy her coffee tables. One time I was over at her house and I caught one of the kids standing on top of her coffee table when Aunt Cindy was in the kitchen getting the kids something to eat and drink. I told the little boy to get down immediately before he broke her table or he gets hurt. I know sooner said it and the table leg broke and the table collapsed. Though the little boy was not hurt, he was just shaken up. I suggested to Aunt Cindy about time outs and talking to the parents of the destructive children about paying to replace her coffee table. She did give the child a time out and a firm warning about standing on any of her furniture.
