Praise and move on
Once the apology has been made and you have had a hug, then it’s time to move on and say 'well done for finishing your time-out.'
It can be a good idea to invite your child back to the activity they were doing before the time-out and at the first opportunity, give them plenty of praise and encouragement. This helps reinforce the difference between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ behaviour.
