[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do a 1 minute timeout for my 2.5 kid. (This is after 1-2-3.) The timeout is not a punishment, necessarily. It’s also a reset to stop the undesirable behavior and shift onto something new.[/quote] Side note, I looked up "1-2-3 Magic" just now after hearing about it a lot in parenting contexts. I expected to hate it because of the silly name and the phrase "positive parenting," which I usually associate with millennial American, overly permissive parenting. But I love the idea of removing parental drama/emotions/talking too much from the equation! It's great.[/quote] I’m the PP and we use 123 Magic for everything. I really appreciate that it is a clear consequence for undesirable behavior and that it removes the overtalking, which I am prone to. My kid doesn’t like timeout so he really reacts when I count his behavior. I would recommend checking the book out from the library or watching some of their YouTube videos![/quote]
