Recently I read about positive discipline and article established the difference between "time-ins" vs "time-outs". Both concepts aim at changing inappropriate behaviors in children, however differ in the strategy used to achieve this. Time-outs suggests that the child is separated from the environment that caused the misconduct. Psychology recommends that a safe and lonely place is identified, and that a chair is placed there for the child to think. One minute is recommended for every year that the child has. The goal is, that once the time is up, and the child is calm, dialogue with the child about what happened. On the contrary, "Time-ins" seeks to avoid lonely the child and proposes the parents sit with the child, give a hug, soothed and discuss inappropriate behavior. Always serving as a positive role model in terms of behavioral expectations that facing the child. This type of discipline proposes that rather than punish inappropriate behavior must be understood and modified through dialogue, reflection and emotional connection-parent children. According to the literature it is more beneficial to the child because the time-ins are not punished for having feelings (frustration, anger, sadness, etc.), but that educates with love and positive discipline. Always letting them know that their feelings are accepted, not their actions.
Which of the two types of disciplines Time-outs or time-ins you use? Tell me your experience.
