[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 333452, member: 6557"] More details are needed. A traditional timeout should be no longer then the child's age time 1 min. If a child has a mental illness they should be allowed the time needed to calm down. Some kids have the accommodation that there be a safe place they can go to calm down and get through their issues. But the length of time spent there is up to the child, not a forced seclusion. When my son was in "in school suspension". He spent most of the day doing his class work alone in a conference room (with frequent checks from the staff). I found that frustrating, but he really had been a complete monster and they tried a variety of other strategies first. The day a lone did calm him down some. [/QUOTE]
