Kevin and Jennifer were in and out, in and out all day long. I let them stay on my heels, even when I went momentarily inside for a pair of pliers. Jennifer got one time-out. I made her go inside for awhile because she wandered too far outside their play area. She knew better, did it anyway. I calmly explained why she had to go inside. Jennifer is smart, she knew exactly what I said. Overall, she has improved a great deal. She doesn't go running off in the woods by herself anymore to visit her friends next door - which is a long hike through dense woods.
