Child WIll Not Stay in Time-Out
If your child will not stay in time-out, stay with him/her. Remind the child that time out does not start until s/he is calm and quiet. Say nothing else and keep your body language nutrual. Let the child scream, cry, and carry on for as long as s/he wants to, reminding the child every now and then that they are missing something important (e.g., favorite TV show, time with friends) and time-out cannot start until they are done crying. Although most children struggle at first, eventually the struggle shortens and disappears all together. Visit TimeOut for an article on how, when, and why to use time out.
