It is an example of time out. Where Karlene's four year old daughter will not be doing anything and away from any activities. It is also a way of disciplining her child into not making things that she shouldn't be doing. For instance, she let her sit and behave after pouring the juice on the floor. With this, it will make the child think that if she had done it again, it will only leave her to do the same thing that she's doing right now where she is quietly sitting on the chair without any playing.
