re: what is

My 4 yr old gets however long I decide at that moment. 4 min is not long enough IMO.

Not for MY DD anyways. Lol but her time outs consists of writting lines then reading them back to me lol also depending on the crime. Something small like not sharing is usually 10-15 min.
But something like hitting or talking back is usually 20-25min. 10 min to write her lines then 10 min to read them back to me and.5 min of silence to think about it. It works wonders for us.

My oldest is 10 her timeouts are the same but longer in time.
