A nurse is teaching parents how to apply "time-out" as a disciplinary method for their 4 year old. Parents have understood the teaching if they state which formula correctly guides the use of "time-out"?
a. Use the guideline of 1 minute per each year of the child's age.
b. Relate the length of the time-out to the severity of the behavior.
c. Never use time-out for a child younger than age 4 years.
d. Follow the time-out with a treat.
A
In time-out, the child is told to sit on a chair for a predetermined time, usually 1 minute per year of age. Relating time to a behavior is subjective and inappropriate when the child is very young. Time-out can be used with a toddler. Negative behavior should not be reinforced with a positive action.
