Time outs

Sometimes in the noise that surrounds the subject of how as a little or middle you may be disciplined, it seems we ignore other ways of dealing with infractions, not least at the start where taking action first may be  better.
When you appear to at the start of a cycle of acting up, being unco-operative or disrespectful, taking you to say Time Out chair where you are to sit in silence reflecting on your behaviour and how to be good for ten minutes or so would make sense as you still are being punished, you are losing a privilege but you are being given the chance to change before any further measures may be needed.
