The time-out
If the behaviour is repeated, use the Time Out Pad™. Tell the child how long they have to sit quietly (experts recommend roughly one minute per year of age) and the reason why you have placed them there.
For example: “We don’t hit people in our house. It’s unacceptable behaviour as people can get hurt. You are going to sit here for 3 minutes. When you see the green light and hear the tune, I will come and get you and you can say sorry". Then move away from the child, keeping them in earshot.
