If you use time-out as a method of behavior management, be sure to keep a time out log. Time out logs help you recognize patterns of behavior, both in yourself and the child. For example: Is a particular child in time-out too often? Did you forget and leave a child in time-out for too long? Is time-out effective? Does it fit the behavior? Is one adult using it more than others are? Or more on a particular child than others? Is it routinely happening at a particular time of day? Review the chart regularly.
