      half a day seems like peanuts though – though I guess it really does depend how the kid feels about it

        Dude no! Like a 15 minute time out is ok. But if they ask for water they should be given it. Locked away alone in a room without supervision for hours? No. That is not normal. At all.

          Locked in a room or locked out of the house? That is not okay, regardless of how long it is.

              Tbh I think even such a thing is not that great for children. Certainly not traumatic or close to it, but just not very effective I would guess.

                Standing in the corner doing nothing probably won’t work well, but sitting in a chair with a book and an expectation to talk about it after might. Giving them stim toys like fidget spinners could also work. The idea is you want them to calm down.
