Penalty Box

The penalty box technique is a timeout technique as used on The Beck Family episode.

Steps
1. Give child a warning.

2. Send child to Penalty Box if the warning is ignored.

3. Explain why they are in the Penalty Box.

4. Ignore the child completely.

5. Set the timer (1 minute for every year of child's age.)

6. If the child gets up before the timer goes off, place them back with no communication and reset the timer.

7. When the child serves the amount of time they were ordered to stay, go back and repeat the reason why they were in the penalty box.

8. Child must apologize; if they apologize properly, give them hugs and kisses and move on. If they refuse to apologize or scream it in a way that you think they don't mean it, leave them there.
