If I had gotten time outs when caught playing with matches when I was 5 I would have one day burned the house down. Me getting spanked probably saved lives.
Not after I got finished torturing you with my timeouts. Ostracism is a very strong tool when coupled with making the child understand what they did wrong. Takes patience on the part of the parents but it well worth it by the time they hit their 8th birthday.
