[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've started to read the book and have a question. Do you tell them what happens when you get to 3? I have a 3 year old, so it's taking him a little bit to catch on. Do I say "that's 1, if I get to 3 then you'll go to time out, lose that toy, go inside, etc" or just wait until 3 to tell him the consequence? I've been kind of alternating, but I'm not really sure which to stick with.[/quote] Finish reading the book. No, you do not tell the consequence. Repetition is the teacher. Minimize words. "That's 3-- take a break." And into time-out. If he's doing something naughty and you're counting sternly, it should catch his attention and a 3 yr old should catch on very, very quickly.[/quote]
