That's One...

Thanks to a friend's recommendation, we have been using the 1-2-3 Magic discipling method on Evan and until recently, it actually worked really well. But something about turning two and half has diminished its effectiveness. Evan will now finish counting for you and he likes to put himself in the corner. He also seems to think "I'm sorry" will get him out of the corner faster.


I think I am in search of a new kind of magic...

I am just getting caught up...I laughed at this one. 1-2-3 Magic is not dead, we reached a temporary "understanding" as well, almost identical. Don't worry, it is still very effective. When he reaches 3 and that time out is even one minute longer, it does become a nuisance to that active lifestyle you've interrupted. Quentin would count too (finish for us), even skip counting and tell us he needs a time out, but "magically" he really was calmer and more reasonable afterwards....good luck! If you do have any new magic, do share!
