how long can i leave a child in time out?
<|assistant|>
The length of time that a child should be kept in time out depends on the situation and the child's age. Generally, it is recommended that the time out last long enough for the child to understand why they were put in time out and to think about their behavior. However, it should not last longer than 5-10 minutes, as the child may become too frustrated or upset.
