I would shadow him and spend my time interacting with him so he does not have the opportunity to do such things.
Also I do not believe in children sharing until they get to be about 4. Sharing requires skills in the areas of boundaries that need to be developed over a period of a couple of years starting at about 2 in my opinion. Many adults cannot share successfully, how can one expect a small child to. We take turns in my home and a timer is used quite often.
I only use "baby jail" if required for safety purposes. I do not use it any other time for any other reason. 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.
