About this listen
Time-outs are often used with the intention of helping children calm down or learn self-control. Many parents rely on them because they want to set boundaries and support their child’s development.
In this episode, we slow the conversation down and explore why time-outs don’t actually teach emotional regulation for young children. We talk about what’s happening in the nervous system during moments of dysregulation, why regulation develops through connection, and what support can look like instead.
This episode offers a developmentally grounded perspective for parents who want to respond to big emotions with clarity, consistency, and care.
