It depends on how you do it.
If you remove the child from the situation (usually it is a fun situation, that got out of hand for the child) and set them aside. Discuss with them the reason they have to sit down and the type of action(s) that is/isn't acceptable. I often leave it to my kids to decide when they can come back and rejoin the activity (they are 6 and 8). They often sit out longer than I would have made them sit out.
