“Time out” tactic to calm down the children

"Exhaustive experiments found that removing a child from the scene of improper behavior, and whatever had provoked it, ingrained an emotional connection with self-control and was preferable to punishment. As a bonus, it gave frustrated parents a short break.

Children needed to be warned of the consequences of their behavior in advance, and that the “time out” tactic had to be applied consistently and within the context of a positive relationship between parent and child. The time out period (typically five to 15 minutes) should end when the child stopped misbehaving (having a tantrum, for example).

It works when the child is 2. Just put her in her crib and indicate that she had to stay there until she stopped crying. If you are in a public place, pick her up and go outside.”
