TemperTimer is a utility to aid in the discipline of young children when using the time-out method. This is sometimes referred to as the time-out method or the naughty-step method. It provides a timer based on the child's age and will give an audible signal when the timeout is finished.

There is also a reset button which should be pressed if the child moves from the naughty-step, which resets the timer back to the initial time setting and restarts the countdown.
