To effectively implement timeouts for your 2-year-old child, choose a quiet and safe spot for them to sit for a few minutes, such as a designated chair or step. Use clear and simple language to explain why they are in timeout, and set a timer for about 1-2 minutes. Be consistent with timeouts and follow through with consequences if needed. After the timeout, calmly discuss the behavior and encourage positive behavior moving forward.
