how does that work? i mean just facing the wall is for me not a time out but a punishment because you mentioned more on the faults that your child did. Time out for me is like a break for the child, not necessarily because a fault was done but he/she is like doing something excessively and needs to have a break from it first. |

we have different perception of time outs because for me time out are somewhat the same as punishment for the child. although i still agree with you kelly-sting that it is also a break from something excessively done. the point is the child will have in mind that this time out is done for a certain purpose that he/she has to learn. |

i was kind of disturb with the way you discipline your son. i know it's effective but i think there are some other options you may want to try other than letting him face the wall. you can make him sit in one corner instead and not to let him get off until you tell him so. |

facing the wall is kind of unproductive time out for me. in my own opinion, time outs should be like teaching the child to do better, to change the wrong doings he has done. with just facing the wall, i think there is nothing that he can learn from it and might affect the child's mental development. |

i am not comfortable with the idea of disciplining a child facing on wall... but we have our different ways in doing so and if you think that makes a child learn from him mistakes, then why not. |
