Time Out Pad Super Nanny Naughty Step Time-Out Pad. The Time Out Pad helps parents make the most of the time out technique. To help children learn when their behavior is not acceptable, many parents use the 'time-out' technique, sitting the child quietly for a few minutes to calm down. Time-outs are a great way for the parents to stay calm too! FEATURES: - Simple to use pressure pad with built-in timer - Visual countdown and audio function - Suitable for children from 2 years and up HOW IT WORKS: Simply set the built-in timer to the desired time-out duration (usually one minute per year of the child's age) and sit the child on the pressure sensitive pad. If the child gets up before the end of the programmed time, an alarm sounds to alert the parent or caregiver, and the countdown will pause until the child sits back down. Once the full time-out countdown has elapsed, the finish tune is played to let everyone know that the session has ended. The child should then apologize and be rewarded with a big hug! WHAT IS A TIME-OUT? The idea behind time-outs is to remove the child from the scene of unacceptable behavior for a few minutes, giving both the child and parent time to calm down. Parents used to send children to their bedrooms, but these days the childcare experts all seem to agree that the time-out zone should be a boring part of the house, like the bottom step of the stairs. This allows the parent to keep an eye and an ear on the child during the time-out period.
