Discipline tips??

I also do not count. Children are taught that they are not required to listen until just before the last number leaves an adults lips. It is never a pleasant day when the child catches on and says "2" right after the adult says "1". I have seen that many times.

Fortunately it has really worked for me as a mom & Childcare provider...I rarely get past 1. Do they keep on counting themselves past 1, yes, for sure in some cases...but they are smiling, redirected and on task.
