Time-Outs

Time-outs are an often misunderstood and misused technique for discipline. Here are a few quick ways to explain time-outs to caregivers:

It’s a pause or body break, not a punishment.
It’s meant to interrupt physically aggressive behavior only.
It’s short: 30-60 seconds.
Time-outs are not a replacement for caregiver soothing.
Learning to pause and calm down takes practice and consistency.
