The Naughty Platform is a Timeout technique used in Supernanny.

Steps

 * 1) Come down to the child's level and give a warning using a low, authoritative tone of voice.
 * 2) Send the child onto the platform if the child ignores the warning and carries on with the behaviour.
 * 3) Come down to the child's level again and explain the reason they are on the platform.
 * 4) Walk away without talking and set the timer for one minute of their age. (e.g. 4-year-olds stay for 4 minutes, 7-year-olds stay for 7 minutes, ages are sometimes rounded up.)
 * 5) If the child escapes, bring them back to the platform, say nothing, and reset the timer. Ignore any attention-seeking behavior.
 * 6) After timeout is over, repeat why they were on the step and ask for an apology.
 * 7) The child apologizes. (If the child does not apologize or does something like scream sorry in a way that makes you think they don't mean it then leave them on the step until they are ready, if they escape, restart the timer again.)
 * 8) Hugs and kisses.

Optional: You may send your child up to bed early if they do something really bad (like encouraging someone to name-call, or shout something which is extremely unacceptable).
