[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 93234, member: 1233"] Not sure I have read this one in years, but a 15 min time-out for a 5yo without problems is too much. Regular rule of thumb for pcs is 1 min per year of age. They just don't have the ability to internalize anything more. The only use for longer time out is if they are in a play area and can have "quiet play" while the adult calms down. We then say Mommy or Daddy is in time out and they have to play independently. A child iwth impulsiveness problems is going to find a 15min time out to be impossible. It will very likely take all day to accomplish this. Try Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood. I found it to make a lot more sense. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
