There are so many ways to install discipline in your child. Choosing the right way can make all the difference. It is a fact of life that children misbehave at times. Some more than others. Using the Time Out method of discipline can be very effective if used consistently and correctly.
Time outs work well for a number of reasons.
They are very portable. Say, you are in the park and you catch your child hitting another child. You can immediatly discipline the child by sitting him or her down on a bench. Time outs are wonderful if your child has misbehaved and you are not sure of the appropriate discipline. This time alone gives children a chance to calm themselves, hence installing a sense of control in them, as well as giving the adult a chance to think the behavior over and avoiding a possible overreaction.
