Time-In: When Time-Out Doesn't Work;

Time-outs are a great way to handle misbehavior -- but sometimes they don't do the job. When parents feel frustrated, angry, helpless or scared because this traditional tool doesn't work, they can add Time-In.

Parents can use "time-in" when they want children to:
-- Listen and think;
-- Change their behavior in a positive way;
-- Pay attention to what they or others need; and
-- Correct something they've done wrong.
