A one year is not exactly capable of sitting and contemplating why the time out happened but they sure as heck know that they did something wrong and are sitting out as a result (doesn't matter if they play with the carpet, they are still 'out') I start time outs at 16 months. Not for EVERYTHING mind you but definitely for aggression and such. Let me tell you they learn QUICK!
