But then other times he'll look at me and say "4, 5, 6, 7.." Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244272 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:37:24 +0000 HLK208 2244272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD does! DS, not so much. If I'm counting for DS, DD will interrupt with "3, 4, 5, 6, 7..." Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244262 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:26:47 +0000 dolphin 2244262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She use to right when I count to 1. Now at 2.5 and with a brand new little sister home, she's become more defiant and it doesn't always work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244245 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:08:26 +0000 Corduroy 2244245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO always does whatever I ask after 3, sort of on 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244212 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:38:04 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2244212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Same here! I only have to say one, and he sprints to whatever it is I asked him to do. There was only one or two occasions when I got to 3, and he knows that's an automatic timeout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244211 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:37:28 +0000 MamaCate 2244211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, although lately she is more likely to push it until close to 3, while she used to hop to it. We use it more as you will lose something than you will go in timeout, which is reserved for safety issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244207 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:35:48 +0000 MarieJ 2244207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes she does (LO 1). Sometimes she finishes the count for me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244164 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:10:21 +0000 littlebug 2244164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time, yes, by 2 he's up and doing whatever I've asked. Usually I use it when I'm trying to get him to go somewhere - like out to the car in the morning to go to school. If I get to 3 and he still hasn't started walking towards the door, I just pick him up and carry him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244132 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:49:44 +0000 mrbee 2244132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm trying not to count anymore though... I think timeouts get less effective as the kids are older, and there are other techniques that work for older kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244115 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:39:14 +0000 ladybee 2244115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I think he's too young still at 21 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244070 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:07:21 +0000 Smurfette 2244070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on her mood, sometimes yes and sometimes no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244031 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:39:47 +0000 hilsy85 2244031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes. He will often get upset and scream/cry by 2, but not necessarily do what I want him to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244030 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:39:07 +0000 Truth Bombs 2244030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooooohhhh yes. All it takes is for me to say "1" and she yells "no no no no no no no" and RUNS to do what she's supposed to be doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-a-count#post-2244026 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:34:29 +0000 mediagirl 2244026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you say, I'm going to count to 3, does your child respond to that or do they just ignore it and think you're joking? Our 3 year old responds to it. She knows she gets a favorite toy taken away if she doesn't respond by 3. </p>
