If the ADHD diagnosis is accurate, and if it includes a significant degree of hyperactivity, treatment of the ADHD may be necessary. As a behavior management tactic, time out will be effective if she executes it correctly. My guess is that the execution, not the technique, is the problem. A useful resource is Lynn Clark's book SOS Help for Parents (see www.sosprograms.com).
