Not A Time Out

Ciaran (5) and Xavier (3) are playing in the front room. They start getting into something they shouldn’t. What that is isn’t important.

I raise my voice and say “Get out of there!”

They immediately run and sit together in the big red chair.

I put whatever it was back. As I walk out of the front room Xavier asks if they can get up.

I don’t say anything.

Xavier then asks if they are in time out.

Again, I don’t say anything.

They stayed in the chair together for 5 minutes before getting back up to play.
