Sometimes he had to wear high heels, sometimes he had to stand on his toes, and sometimes I made him hold a coin to the wall with the tip of his nose or have him hold something between the cheeks of his butt or a combination of any of the above with added repercussions if he dropped the item he was supposed to hold before his allotted time was up.Ī very important aspect of the Time Out punishment is that talking is strictly forbidden for the full duration of the punishment.Īn effective way to insure this and also increase the culprits humiliation is to use a pacifier. Being nude makes them feel so vulnerable. I had numerous variations of corner times for him. Some form of stress position such as arms held out or legs widely spread. Holding coins up against a wall with either the nose or fingers. He needs to be able to get close to the corner and should not have to move anything to get there, as things occupying "his" corner get in the way and detract from the act of getting into it. The best corners don't have any gaps at all and are the same colour on both sides to avoid distraction.

He needs to know which corner is his as after a while it will become special to him. There are various positions, such as hands behind or on his head, and this is to be established as as standard, which can be varied, but there should be a known understood basic requirement that the husband is trained in.Īn important aspect is nominating "his" corner.

Taking by the arm or ear being particularly favoured. A husband in need of corner time should be walked to his corner and physically placed in it. This is good if a lecture is to be carried out. She may set an alarm, such as on a mobile phone, if she wants the husband to just reappear after a set time, or she can make a point of going and fetching him after.

The rule of thumb is 1 minute for each year of age, with a maximum of 5 minutes for time-out.
