Timeouts get a bad rap. Experts in some corners have criticized them for stoking
insecurities and triggering children with traumatic histories. But actually,
they can foster secure attachment, reduce negative behaviors, and even correct
psychological problems resulting from past abuse and neglect — when they’re
within the context of a secure, loving family. The key to effective timeouts is
ensuring that children have something to lose when they’re separated from the
family. If you’re not playing with them, giving positive feedback, and praising
them during “time-in,” kids are unlikely to see timeouts the way you want them
to, let alone as a deterrent.
