Early childhood time-out rules are generally one minute for each year of the child's age. However, when a six-year-old swore on the playground, he was sent to in-house to work silently and ceaselessly save for a lunch break, for the rest of the day. When he couldn't stay still that long and started dancing, he was told that he had to stay in in-house for the rest of the week. Is this right?
Yes, he used the f-word. Yes, he started dancing through the room trying to make the other people laugh. Is it really worth it?
Of course, he would forget six minutes of time-out in four minutes. He's not going to forget three days in in-house in a hurry. However, it may be over the top... Right now I'm assuming that the people in charge know what they're doing. If this sort of thing happens again, with less provocation, I'm going to rethink that trust.
