Ms. Kristina set the timer on her phone and told the children, "If one person talks, the time will increase to 15 minutes for the whole group". One child started crying during the time out and Ms. Kristina told that child "What's wrong with you? You don't like doing this? This could all be over if you could learn to listen."
