A good rule of thumb is one minute per year of your child's age. So Karen’s child is 4 years old, she would get four minutes of time-out. If you find that the shorter time-outs aren't having the wanted result, increase the length by half the time (so your 4-year-old would get an extra two minutes, for a total of six minutes).
