Time out is a removal from the area of aggression. Children in a time out need direct adult supervision. The amount of time should not exceed 5 minutes. Children 0-3 are too young for a time out. This age needs distraction or diversion to correct a given aggressive situation.
Teachers use good language skills, calm voice, and plan ahead to stop and handle aggression.
No hitting, shaking, or any corporal punishment is allowed. Verbal abuse, withholding meals, or punishing for lapse in toilet training is unacceptable. Staff informs parents of reoccurring aggression.
