Time-Out
I am doing a parenting course at the moment (I'm sort of addicted to them, I love meeting other parents), it is illegal to hit children here so for the most part they normally don't bug me. Yesterday they were talking about time-out and I left feeling really annoyed because for them the time to use time out is for hitting or violence and them putting an upset child in a room etc. To me that is harmful (in saying that all the kids in my house now have come to me after being removed from their biological parents) am I over reacting or is there something seriously wrong with separating an upset child from you.
