Time Out Pad – CLOSED

by Mommy on June 30, 2009

timeoutpad

Time out is way harder for parents to stick to than children. I recall seeing people trying to get their kids to to go to time out, and after about 30 seconds of crying, the kids are back up to their old tricks, because the parents feel like 5 minutes have gone by. There is a new great gadget out there that will help parents and kids get through a time out session.

The Time Out Pad is a little blue seat where children can sit during a time out. This is great because kids will always know where to go for time out and because it’s portable it is easy to bring to grandmas house. The Time Out Pad has a timer on the pad so you can pick how long the child gets to be seated during time out. The timer can be set between 1 and 5 minutes. It is recommended that the Time Out Pad timer be set at the same age as your child. So the timer would be set for 3 minutes for a 3 year old.

timeoutpad2gif Many children like to try to see how far they can go without getting caught. Many will try to leave their time out session early or parents are just not paying attention to the time that children have been in time out. The Time Out Pad has a little sensor that will alert the caregiver if a child leaves the Time Out Pad early. So both the caregiver and the child will know that they have tried to leave the Time Out Pad before the time has expired.

If you are planning on using the time out method to raise your child, the Time Out Pad would be a very easy tool to make time out sessions consistent. We all know that consistency is very important while raising a child- especially between parents. The Time Out Pad will ensure that Moms, Dads and grandparents all have the same time out rules.

Amy June 30, 2009 at 9:22 am: The Grobag Egg is a terrific idea – in the PIL basement at the moment and it is so hard to tell whether the room is too cool or not!
Melanie June 30, 2009 at 9:22 am: I don’t thing I ever had a time out, my parents were spankers :0 Didn’t do me any lasting harm though.

MIchelle Boniface June 30, 2009 at 9:33 am: What a great idea!
Rhiannon June 30, 2009 at 10:01 am: I have heard the one minute per year of child’s age before, but I tend to be one of those parents who lets their kid out early. My son is 2, and I have trouble not just skipping to the apology step. I will definitely use the techniques given on the site, but the pad would be SO helpful!
CINDY June 30, 2009 at 10:04 am: I THINK THE POP PALS ARE COOL, MAKES THEM LESS MESSY. THE TIME OUT PAS IS PRETTY AWESOME.
danielle June 30, 2009 at 10:31 am: I like the grobag egg….Im always feeling DS’ feet to see if he’s cold, as the bedrooms cool quicker than the rest of the house!

Jenifer Nicola June 30, 2009 at 11:30 am: I like the grobag egg… neat idea b/c my son’s room is usually the warmest room in the summer and the coldest in the winter. This would give me a good idea as to how many degrees cooler/warmer it actually is so I know how to adjust the temp.

Kara June 30, 2009 at 12:25 pm: When I was little “time out” was the window bench by our big bay window. All of us kids, and all the cousins too, remember what it was like to be told “Go sit on the bench!” lol.

Terri June 30, 2009 at 4:51 pm: I remember time outs but not actually being put in one. I was actually an obedient, quiet child who loved books. My parents were strict but they had to be – we were 8 kids – 4 boys and 4 girls. My Mom sure could have used a Time Out Pad especially for the youngest who was aptly named Dennis (the Menace).
Rachel June 30, 2009 at 5:26 pm: I love that there are parenting tips on the website. Time Outs only work if you are using positive parenting and I’m a big fan of that!
Rachel June 30, 2009 at 5:27 pm: Ha ha! My time outs were spent staring at the corner in our Living Room. I don’t remember what I did, but I can still see that corner and remember how bored I got sitting there. One time my Mom even forgot I was there (we had 7 kids in our house) and I think I must have sat there for a few hours while she ran errands and picked up siblings from soccer:)

Maggie Van Vliet July 1, 2009 at 1:05 am: I learned that most experts recommend one minute for every year of the child’s life. I think this pad would be very helpful with my son who is High Functioning Autistic.. We use time out but have trouble keeping him in one spot .. this would define the time out spot for sure

Steve July 2, 2009 at 8:48 am: What a great idea for getting consistency while using “time outs”. I saw on their website that there are pressure pads with a built in timer, and that there’s a visual countdown so your child can see how long they have left. I would love to win this and give it a whirl to try and get some consistency in time outs.

That time out pad looks wonderful, i think how the timer is built in is great, beats having to use a baking timer or just letting your child know when the time out is done. It also makes it so they can not move all around, they have to stay on the pad. Wish this was out a long time ago.

ReggieMann July 8, 2009 at 10:35 am: Q. Can my child change the time setting once the countdown has started?
A. No, once the countdown is in progress the timer will run for the chosen number of minutes. A child would need a coin to change the time setting, so it is recommended that you keep coins away from the child during their time-out.
thecoolmom July 8, 2009 at 11:54 am: I like the colored lights that give visual clues to the child to let them know time is almost up.

Annie July 9, 2009 at 11:23 am: I am adopted and came to my permanent house at the age of 5. I didn’t get time-outs, just spankins. I think I would have responded better to time-outs because I don’t like being alone.

My child is 13 months and doesn’t like to be alone either- I think time-outs are going to do wonders.

Larry H. July 9, 2009 at 3:24 pm: My parents didn’t use time-out. When they visit us it gets annoying if our son gets a time-out because they talk to him and try to negotiate with us to let him out. They were lenient when I was a kid unless they were in a bad mood and then it would mean spankings or getting screamed at for what seemed like hours. Discipline/punishment was very inconsistent and although we believe in spanking (we also/usually use time-outs or privilege removal depending on the offense)and we try very hard to be consistent and judicious.
xenia July 9, 2009 at 3:25 pm: My 2-year-old definitely needs this! It’s great that unless the child is on the pad, the timer won’t work because that really enforces having to sit there.

I also remember grandma’s house shoe. Youch!
