How Time Out is Abused
December 4, 2006
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.
-Doris Lessing
An Exchange article by Roslyn Duffy, "Time Out: How it is Abused �" What it Could/Should Look Like," serves as the basis for the Exchange Out of the Box Training Kit on Time Out. In this article, Duffy firsts describes how time out is abused when it is:

* a new name for punishment
* used as a threat
* the only way the adult knows how to respond to a child's misbehavior
* rarely discussed with children except when they are being sent to it
* a black hole where children disappear
* a way to make children "pay" for their misbehavior
* only for children.

This week, the online version of Out of the Box Training Kit, "Time Out: How it is Abused," is on sale at a 20% discount, as are all other Out of the Box Kits.
