Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. The use of time-out avoids punishment.
B Correct. Time-out is an effective disciplinary strategy that involves removing positive reinforcement for unacceptable behavior. It is a defined period of time in which the child is removed from activities and social interactions. The goal of time-out is to interrupt a pattern of negative behavior. The child should be placed in an area that is unstimulating and safe for about 1 minute for every year of age.
C Incorrect. Not the term for this disciplinary strategy.
D Incorrect. Seclusion may not be safe for a toddler or young child, and hence is not correct.
