ABSTRACT:
This invention is a time-out chair that allows a child's caregiver to leave the room where the child is taking the time-out, and yet still ensure that the child is staying in the time-out. The chair contains a sensor, such as an infrared sensor or force sensor, which detects when the child has left. The sensor communicates to a microcomputer, which emits an audio and/or visual signal to the child. The audio signal can be selected from several built in signals, recorded or inputted by the caregiver. The microcomputer also may transmit a signal to a remote unit that the caregiver can carry out of the room so that the caregiver is advised that the child has left the time-out. The microcomputer also keeps track of the time remaining in the time-out, and advises the child and/or the caregiver when the time-out is over.
