Time Outs, Do They Really Work

I grew up in a family of 9. I have 6 other siblings of various ages. And it always seemed that while I was growing up there was always someone that was being corrected, whether it was gentle guidance or punishment for a wrong. However, I always saw that my mom was changing the way she was working with us. She was trying new correctional habits and trying to guide us by different means until she found the one that worked best with us.
