Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The time-out procedure is not intended to induce fear or be more intense than punishment. Its success lies in eliminating reinforcement of undesired behaviors, as the child is removed from the situation or activity that was reinforcing the undesirable behavior. This helps teach the child that the behavior is not acceptable and reduces the likelihood of it occurring again in the future.
