The Timeout Papers

The TimeOut Papers teach children how to respond to life's mistakes, how to grow their souls and receive awards for virtuous accomplishments.

Otherwise known as "the mistake papers," these succinct little writings are suitable for children aged four and up. They explain why a particular action carried out by a child was improper or sinful, provide a prayer to atone for the mistake with God, and offer suggestions as to what the child can do next to rectify the situation with their neighbor. Along with the little prayers asking God for help are corresponding scripture verses that offer hope and a path toward behavioral change.

The papers are designed to be read to the younger child within earshot of their older siblings and friends. There are writing exercises as well which sharpen children's writing skills as they absorb crucial moral and behavioral lessons.

The easy-to-use papers cover the full range of behaviors that every child needs to lear
