is it ok to give my child a timeout outside of the house?

It is generally not a good idea to give a child a timeout outside of the house. While a timeout may be effective in helping your child control their behavior, it can become very embarrassing for them if they are interrupted in public by being sent to a time-out. A timeout should only be given in private and away from other people to make it as comfortable and effective as possible.
