2 Foot Round Time-Out Spot Area Rug (Promotes consistency with discipline) (Navy)

A time-out isn't a punishment. It's an opportunity for your child to learn how to cope with frustration and modify his behavior. While your child is in a time-out, he's on his own, so try to let him sit in solitude for a few moments. Any attention from you - positive or negative - only reinforces unwanted behavior. These creative carpets provide a perfect spot for your child to sit in Time-Out. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says it's okay to give children as young as 1 a time-out - but it's best only as a last resort. Until he's a little older, your child may not have the self-control and reasoning skills to make a traditional time-out effective. Instead, think of a time-out as the "quiet time" your toddler needs to calm down and get his emotions under control.
