I am too busy to keep track of time-out. Any suggestiions?

Time Those Time-Outs

Use a kitchen timer when putting your child in "time out." This prevents the problem of "forgetting" your child as you are trying to get other things done and it circumvents the "Can I get out now?" question. A timer is also good to use when children are fighting over television shows or video games. Set the timer and put the TV or video game into time out.
