Calm Down vs Time Out Area Podcast


Listen Later

I’m so excited today to be talking on the podcast about calm down vs time our areas. This is probably one of the more controversial topics that I’ll talk about on the podcast. There’s so many opinions about using time out or calm down. And today, I wanted to share the pros and cons of both.

Whether you call it a calm down area or time out area – or you don’t use either! This podcast episode is worth a listen so you can find out more about both names. And how beneficial having one of these areas in your classroom or home can be.

What Am I Talking About?

  • Why I have never called it time out.
  • The pros and cons of each name.
  • How to set up an area.
  • What way to use the area to get the best benefit for your students.
  • What to include in an area.
  • Being consistent.
