For some households this is just not going to work so I think parents have to get creative and discover the techniques which will actually work for their child. Not everything is a one size fits all.

It was typically done for minor infractions that my daughter could easily recognize that she had done wrong, and like the article suggests, we always tried to make the time out sessions meet her needs of what she could take and understand. No thirty minute time outs for a 3 year old! And I always had her check with me after a time out ended so she could tell me why she had to take the time out, just to make sure she understaood what she had done wrong. I encourage more parents to use this form of discipline the right way, and I promise it can work in your house too. Time out always worked like a charm at my house.
