Which of the following is true about time/out?

A) It is a universally accepted method of discipline that everyone agrees is effective
B) It makes children understand what they did wrong
C) It helps children feel better about themselves
D) Depending on the adult approach, it can be considered punishing or an opportunity for an adult to be a helper to the child

Time/out is a method of discipline that is not universally accepted as effective, and its effectiveness may depend on the child's age, temperament, and the specifics of the situation. The goal of time/out is not to make children feel better about themselves, but rather to help them learn from their mistakes and misbehaviors. Depending on how the adult approaches the use of time/out, it can be considered punishing or an opportunity to guide and teach the child.
