how long can i leave a child in time out?

There is no set amount of time that should be allocated for a timeout. However, it is usually recommended that timeouts should not exceed 5 minutes for toddlers and 10 minutes for older children. It is important to ensure that the timeout is not so long that it loses its impact.
