Mm-hmm

... and just what are kids, like, what's developmentally appropriate, like, what makes sense for where they are developmentally.

Um, you know, parents will often say, like, "My child," particularly a toddler, "won't stay in one area." Well, yeah, that's not, like, that, that's pretty, that's consistent or, with where they are developmentally.

Um, I also, I think for many, many generations, I mean, time, the words timeout have, have stuck around for a long time, but for m- many parents, um, their memory of timeout was this idea that you're supposed to, like, be separated and think about what you did wrong, and that's just not...

Like, that metacognition, the thinking about your thinking, is not, like, developmentally consistent with a toddler.

Um, they also need parents to help them co-regulate.

So, um, I mean, first and foremost, I will say that I d- I think timeout is not effective because more often than not, it is punishing a child or using, um, your, it's used when they are expressing, like, heightened negative emotions.

Mm-hmm.
