[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely would not go right to three for couch jumping. Our kids are 2.5 and 4. Our right-to-threes are: 1) Hitting or kicking a person 2) Not stopping when we say “stop” when we’re walking out on the sidewalk (they’re city kids, we walk everywhere, and we let 2.5 get about 1/4 block in front of us and the 4 year old get about a 1/2 block in front of us, so this is a SERIOUS infraction for us. Has only happened once each that I can remember). 3) One time, the older one looked me right in the eye and said “I hate you.” Chilled me to the bone. I went right to three and put him in a timeout. I don’t know if that was the right move, prob not according to the book. It was just my first instinct. He clearly had no idea what it even meant, we talked about it a lot after and he’s never said it since. We’ve been doing 1-2-3 Magic since each kid was about 18 months old. I’d say we’ve gone right to 3 a single digit number of times, across both kids. [/quote]
