Many of us remember timeouts from our childhood, or have mandated them for our own children. Even if we didn’t get put in timeouts ourselves or use them with our own children, we have a pretty good idea of why timeouts happened. Someone wasn’t “acting right” and an adult assigned them to take some time alone to think about what they did. The hope was that a pause and reflection would lead to behavior changes. I have a sense that a lot of kids in timeouts were just mad about not getting to play, and maybe didn’t do a lot of thinking. ????
