What is an alternative to time-outs?

Hug Therapy

Instead of issuing time-outs immediately after a misbehavior, try offering your child a choice of either time-out or hug. A hug will still separate your child from the situation and you will both calm down so that you can discuss what happened and decide how to prevent it in the future.
