Description of discipline technique:
This technique is from a book with the same name. After a short discussion with the child about what the one...two...three mean, you (the adult) just have to count and keep cool. When you begin to count, the child knows which behavior s/he is doing that has caused the counting. This is a small external help to the child to monitor or change the current behavior to a more acceptable one. What I think is so good about this technique is the ability to help the adult stay cool and calm even when you might be very annoyed inside. Borrow the book from the library or maybe your child's school. I heard about it from the pre-school my son attended.
