[quote=Anonymous]I am about to start 123 Magic because Kazdin method is not working for our family. I’ve read both books multiple times and we’ve gotten help from multiple professionals. Kids behave better apart than together. My husband will not read 123 Magic or try the process, but he’s satisfied with the way the kids behave for him. Kids are 5 and 6.

We were discussing concept that behaviors that are so dangerous or outrageous that they skip the counting procedure and go straight to three. I brought up jumping on the couch. I have calmly explained to danger to my kids multiple times and have put them in time out for it each time I see it, yet they still jump on the couch. I find this outrageous. I have no memories of standing on upholstered furniture in childhood, much less jumping on it.

Ideally, I would like to have them go straight to three each time an adult sees it. My husband thinks that I’m being too harsh, and should use the counting procedure. If anything, I was going to add extra time if that didn’t extinguish within the first two weeks.

1. Am I too harsh, or is he too relaxed on this particular issue?

2. We would love your family’s list of straight-to-three behaviors.
