Time-Out Technique

Time-Out Technique

  • Created in Schmitt Pediatric Care Advice
Time-out means putting a child in a boring place for a few minutes to correct a misbehavior. It’s the most effective consequence (discipline technique) for misbehavior in 2- to 5-year-old children. Every parent needs to know how to give a time-out.
