Question

​Sitting down and talking with a child to prevent escape from time-out is acceptable.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sitting down and talking with a child during time-out can actually reinforce the behavior that led to the time-out in the first place by giving the child attention and the opportunity to argue or negotiate. It is best to silently supervise from a distance during time-out and resume communication once the time-out is over.
