One Strike and You’re Out

One Strike and You're Out is a technique is for younger children with extreme anger issues to be given an opportunity to cool down, while their tantrums are being ignored. It could also be used for older children who exhibit difficult behaviour. In other words, the child is momentarily separated from the family while exhibiting extreme behaviour. After some time, the child apologizes as soon as the child is calm.

There are absolutely NO warnings prior to execution with this technique.

Steps

 * 1) Do not give a warning. Remove the child from the room and using a low-toned voice, mention the offending behaviour is unacceptable and that he/she is only allowed back in the room after an apology.
 * 2) If the child comes back without apologising, remove the child from the room and repeat that the child is only allowed back in after an apology.
 * 3) Repeat step #2 until the child apologises.
 * 4) Once the child apologizes, give them hugs & kisses. Then, move on
