It is temporary confinement of an individual,l mostly kids to an area, (hallway and empty rooms) away from where the offending acts has occurred. Toys, T.V sets and other recreational activities are not available.

It helps the child to think and reflect on what went wrong, and how to avoid the same mistakes next time. It is appropriate for a child with age range 3-8 years. Children usually behave in a challenging ways  when they notice arrival of a baby brother or sisters,  visits of peer relations, or when they start a preschool or  childcare.  

Generally the duration of time out does not indicate its effectiveness.It effectiveness depends on the individual child, the age of the child, the temperaments and state of emotions The general rule is a year per minutes. Thus a 5 year old child will spend 5 minutes, the same goes for a child of 3 years to spend 3 minutes.
