English term or phrase: Time-in
It's the opposite of timeout which doesn't really have an appropriate translation in French. Usually translated by "temps mort" or "pause".

"Behavior incentive plan including Time-ins and prizes earned for demonstration of appropriate behavior"

But how would you translate this in French?

Explanation:
"What is a time-in?

In a time-in, a child who is having a difficult moment is invited to sit with a caregiver for comfort and calming. During the time-in, the caregiver helps the child express his or her feelings and point of view, listening to and empathizing with the child. The caregiver then explains why the behaviour was problematic and helps the child problem-solve the situation, discussing alternative ways of addressing the situation in an age-appropriate way. A time-in always involves a conversation where the caregiver is actively listening to what the child is saying and respecting the child’s perspective and feelings."

"What is a time-out?
The word time-out is used to describe a variety of situations. For the purposes
of this document, the following definition, commonly used by caregivers, is provided:
A time-out is a strategy that involves removing a child from their immediate
environment for a short time, as a consequence of a behaviour perceived by the caregiver as a transgression. In this use of the term, the child is moved away from the caregiver, either in the same room or in a different room, and the caregiver stops interacting with the child until the time-out is over."

18. Try time-in.

We have noticed that for many children with A.D.D (and other children, too) the classic “time-out” method of behavior modification doesn’t work. Their anger escalates when they are sent to another room for time-out, and they become resentful at being sent away. Time-out reinforces all the negative messages they are accustomed to receiving about themselves. This is why the “time-in” chair works better for many, especially for younger children. In time-in the parent has the child sit in a chair or stand in a corner in the same room as the parent. The child must be silent for a short period of time, but is not isolated. This gives the message that although you will not tolerate the behavior, you are not rejecting your child. Children three and older can be given a count of three to sit down. If your child does not sit, state firmly the one-minute time-in is now two minutes. Repeat this procedure raising the number of minute until the child sits in the chair. Screaming or abusive arguing from the child while sitting adds minutes until it stops. You must decide beforehand how long time-in will last. Obviously, fifteen minutes is too long for younger children. We prefer short times, no more than five minutes."
