Teaching with Time-Outs

Time-Outs

Using time-outs can be a very effective way to correct unwanted and inappropriate behaviors. A great deal of research has been done on this method of discipline at distinguished facilities, such as Johns Hopkins University. The use of time-outs can be effective for children as young as 9 months, which is when some children begin negative behaviors, such as hitting others. However, time-outs are most effective when used for children between the ages of 2 and 6 years.
