The Room

When you give your child a timeout, he at first feels anger and resentment. Then after a while he starts crying, feeling sad and hurt. A little later baby feels lurking behind all this fear and vulnerability. This whole drama unfolds and ends in a few short minutes, and the child suddenly again miraculously comes under your control. During a timeout child being in a confined space, the beginning feels like a splash basic emotions, and then starts again feel their true needs.

When you give your child a timeout, he has the opportunity to full power to resist your will. At this point, triggered some internal switch, and the child begins to experience their emotions. Instead of simply express these emotions, he begins to "feel". Resentment of the timeout, in fact, enhances the ability to feel the baby. As a result of a sharpened awareness of their feelings a child begins to feel the need for parental love, understanding, support and leadership. Once he felt the need for love, once again wakes and his willingness to cooperate.

Ideally, the timeout is as follows: the father or the mother puts the child in the room and keeps the door closed. If a kid tries to break – this is the natural manifestation of resistance. Remember: when the child resists, this is normal. When a child turns one behind the closed door, he feels that he is all left. The duration of the timeout – one minute for each year lived by a child.
