    Dude no! Like a 15 minute time out is ok. But if they ask for water they should be given it. Locked away alone in a room without supervision for hours? No. That is not normal. At all.

      Locked in a room or locked out of the house? That is not okay, regardless of how long it is.

        I think they meant standing in the corner or sitting in a chair for the duration of the timeout

          Tbh I think even such a thing is not that great for children. Certainly not traumatic or close to it, but just not very effective I would guess.

            Standing in the corner doing nothing probably won’t work well, but sitting in a chair with a book and an expectation to talk about it after might. Giving them stim toys like fidget spinners could also work. The idea is you want them to calm down.
