A child who hits is usually unable to control the impulse or feeling powerless in the situation. An adult who hits is usually seeking revenge or believes he is teaching a lesson. The lesson is that I am bigger than you and I can hurt you more.

A time-out downstairs in our home is for 1 minute per year of age up to 12 minutes. A teenager gets 12 minutes, while a toddler would get 3 minutes. A kindergartner gets 5 minutes. A preschooler gets 4 minutes. An 8 1/2 year old gets 8 1/2 minutes. A 7 year old gets 7 minutes. An eighth-grader gets 5 minutes. In the eighth and ninth grades, 5 minutes are required for a time-out. We dont use 1 minute per year of age for eighth-and-ninth-graders. We use 5 minutes. Downstairs time-out=a 1-year-old up to a 9th grader
Upstairs spanking=a 1-year-old up to a 9th grader
Downstairs time-out=10th grader+
Upstairs time-out=10th grader+
Whenever a 10th grader starts acting up downstairs, we send them to the couch or to the left chair. Whenever a 10th grader starts acting up upstairs, we send them to their rooms.
