Time-outs seem to be most parents’ favourite disciplining tool. How it normally works is that you have a child who is behaving badly, you remove him/her from the situation & sit him out in another room. Tell the child that s/he is in “time-out”. The idea is to remove the child from that situation and provide him sometime to calm down. It’s success rate is quite high. Experts say time-outs work almost all the time when implemented in the right manner. Starting from 18 months of age to even 15 years old, you just need apply it differently in different circumstances.
