One day she decides to ignore Suzy’s tantrum and just puts her in her bed, returning her every time she gets out – but does not make eye contact or talk to Suzy. Eventually Suzy stops her tantrums because she isn’t getting any attention. (Time Out’s are extinction) Extinction: decreases behavior. You are taking something away so that a response is decreased.
