In the past few weeks my husband started using the, "I'm going to count to 3" tactic and, I have to say, it's working surprisingly well with our 2 1/2 year old son. Nice parenting, dad! :)
Tonight, here is what I overheard as the two of them were in the living room while I finished up with dinner. After some comical back and forth about whether or not there would be a bath:
Dad: "I'm going to count to three. One..."
The Negotiator: [ignores dad]
Dad: "Two..."
The Negotiator: "No! Just only say 'one,'" as he runs to the bath.
Apparently, my son likes it when he follows the rules at "one."
A little overachiever in the making?
