chosen.content: It is generally not a good idea to give a child a timeout outside of the house. While a timeout may be effective in helping your child control their behavior, it can become very embarrassing for them if they are interrupted in public by being sent to a time-out. A timeout should only be given in private and away from other people to make it as comfortable and effective as possible.

rejected.content: It is generally not advisable to give a timeout to your child outside of the house. This is because timeouts are most effective when your child cannot escape or distract you, which may not be possible when you are in a public place or other people’s homes. Furthermore, the environment may not be as comfortable or conducive for disciplinary measures, which might make it harder for your child to behave.
