When a 5-year-old is disruptive, the nurse says, "You must take a time-out." The expectation is that the child will:
a. go to a quiet room until called for the next activity.
b. slowly count to 20 before returning to the group activity.
c. sit on the edge of the activity until able to regain self-control.
d. sit quietly on the lap of a staff member until able to apologize for the behavior.
ANS: C
Time-out is designed so that staff can be consistent in their interventions. Time-out may require going to a designated room or sitting on the periphery of an activity until the child gains self-control and reviews the episode with a staff member. Time-out may not require going to a designated room and does not involve special attention such as holding. Counting to 10 or 20 is not sufficient.
