Ans: C
Typically the duration of a "time out" is 5 minutes for children 5 years of age and older. The chair should be located away from general activity but within view. The time starts once the child is sitting quietly in the designated spot. Once the time out is complete, the child is asked to recount why he or she was given the time out.
