Abstract Synopsis

  • The article discusses the importance of parental discipline for healthy child development, focusing on timeout as a commonly used and well-supported method, but also addressing recent criticism based on attachment theory and concerns about potential harm to traumatized children.
  • It proposes five guiding principles—or axioms—based on developmental mental health models to evaluate and improve discipline strategies, including timeout, ensuring they promote positive outcomes.
  • The authors argue that when applied consistently with current understanding of learning, attachment, and family systems, timeout can actually support better mental health and behavior in children, especially those with complex trauma, by acting as a beneficial intervention rather than harm.]
