Me and my brother would do this with our little brother all the time!</p> <p>Me: "Can you go get my book for me?"<br /> Him: "No"<br /> Me: "But I'll time you! Readysetgo!"<br /> *He would run to get my book*</p> <p>It worked until he got older and caught on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427630 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:33:06 +0000 pregnantbee 2427630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! And he also thinks he is "beating" me or daddy when getting dressed in the morning even though we never indicated it's a race. Lol. He's 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427614 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:26:44 +0000 Bao 2427614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: That's fun! Trying that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427610 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:24:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2427610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I initially had done it just for screen time - then he started asking for it more often! so we'll even do it during clean up and see if he can beat his time - haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427597 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:18:09 +0000 Bao 2427597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: She legit wants me to count "1, 2, 3...." then I just "count in my head" and throw out a number when she gets back lol! I like that actual timer idea though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427593 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:16:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2427593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the timer for time limits - like screen time, afternoon quiet time, how long until we have to leave, etc- and he responds really well to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-you-to-time-them#post-2427578 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:10:53 +0000 Bao 2427578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO who is 3.5 likes me to time her when she is doing something these days, like going potty, going up to get her pajamas from her room etc. It's not too bad actually because it typically gets her to do things she isn't too excited about doing. It definitely helps move things along! </p> <p>Does your LO ask you to time them when they are doing something? </p>
