Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

What is a Time - Out?

The idea behind time-outs is to remove the child away from the scene of unacceptable behaviour for a few minutes, giving both the child and parent time to calm down.

In the old days, many children were sent to their bedrooms, but these days the childcare experts all seem to agree that the naughty step or time-out zone should be a boring part of the house like the bottom step of the stairs. This allows the parent to keep an eye on, or listen out easier for the child during the time-out period.

When to use time-outs?

Generally speaking, time-outs are a last resort action in response to unacceptable behaviour, the definition of which can vary between families. For example issues like: violence towards other members of the family, dangerous play, rudeness, swearing, continual ignoring of simple polite requests or just simply when the child is out of control and cannot be reasoned with.

Time-outs are also brilliant if YOU feel you are losing it too! Keeping calm and in control are probably one of the most important parenting techniques around.

How it Works?

Simply set the built-in timer to the desired time-out duration (usually one minute per year of the child's age) and sit the child on the pressure sensitive pad.

If the child gets up before the end of the programmed time, an alarm sounds to alert the parent or carer, and the countdown will pause until the child sits back down.

Once the full time-out countdown has elapsed, the finish tune is played to let everyone know that the session has ended. The child should then apologise and be rewarded with a big hug!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful tool but is it worth the money?, 4 Sep 2007
By L. Jones "Traveller" (Wandering around in England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a useful disciplinary tool as it does show the child where they have to be and how long they have to wait. 5 minutes can seem forever if they do not know how long they have already been sitting down. If you ask a child to be quiet for 5 minutes it is an almost impossible task for many.

This also means that you can leave the child and know if they will get up for those parents who cannot spend their entire time watching the child and telling them to stay still and for the rebelious children as knowing exactly where they have to sit and having a timer can help them know their boundaries.

Very useful

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and portable solution, 15 Jul 2007
By B. Holmes (London) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
We've had the Time Out Pad for a few weeks now, and have had such good success with it, our son rarely goes on it any more - just threatening sitting on it usually defuses the situation, rather than him having to sit on the naughty step, which he had to do quite often before. We think this is because he HAS to stay on the pad, and it makes it more of a discipline thing than just staying on the step to calm down. It also means you can leave the room safely, which means he cannot argue or beg with you, missing out on the point of the exercise.

You can also take it with you to other places so that discipline is always consistent. Highly recommended - if you're lucky, you won't have to use it soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Out Pad, 14 Aug 2007
By Matthew Taylor "Taylorman" (U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
The Time Out Pad is a superb product. It's easy to use and has really helped us in those situations where my son requires some time to think about his actions. The main advantage is that we don't have to keep an eye on him which was becoming an issue, as I was concerned that the whole Time Out process was becoming an attention seeking method. You simply turn it on sit him down on the pad and if he does get up then the alarm sounds warning us to his attempts to avoid his punishment.
