Are Time-outs OUT in parenting?

Time-Outs get a bad rap on social media, however when done correctly they can be effective for some children. On this episode, I welcome Dr Jenicka Engler, developmental neuropsychologist, clinical scientist, and mom to discuss:

• Why Time-outs get a bad rap
• When time-outs can be effective
• When NOT to use time-outs 
• How parents misuse time outs
