Question

When properly executed, the behavior management strategy known as time-out becomes
A.a positive reinforcer
B.more effective than logical consequences
C.a conversation betwen child and adult
D. suitable punishment for misbehavior

I chose the letter A. Can you check my answer.

Answer 1

A. is not the answer. Positive reinforcement reinforces good behavior.

Please check your book to find the answer that your teacher expects. I see two posible right answers.

Answer 2

Thanks I see two possible answers to. Thank you I am all ready relooking in the book.

Answer 3

The whole purpose of "time out" was originally intended, as I understand it (although I didn't use this with my own children), to break the "flow" of the unacceptable behavior, to put the child into a quiet place so he/she could "shift gears" and become ready to rejoin the class or playmates or whatever.

What did you learn from your book?

Answer 4

This is what I learned from the text book: Sometimes putting children in time-out does not all ways work, so the teacher has to results to other sources which is by talking to the parents.

Answer 5

Hmmm! That doesn't seem to fit the answers.

I believe that D is the best answer.

Answer 6

I agree with Ms. Sue. It's definitely not A or C, and B seems questionable, too, since it does not always work.

The purpose of time-out is two fold: to remove the child from creating a disturbance, and secondly, to allow withdrawal of attention to the child. It should be short, and no attention paid to the child. One has to be careful with this, some anti-social kids like time out, and autistic kids could care less.

Answer 8

I ALSO THINK IS D
