Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Has worked in past, not so great lately

It works but they will sometimes cry to try to get their own way.

I count to 3 and she gets what I told her to do done

I use 1-2-3 more as a code to let my daughter know that what I am asking from her is something that is not negotiable and it is something that I want her to accomplish now. It is usually used as a way for me to prepare her that when I get to three she needs to be doing or on her way to be doing whatever it is that I am asking her to do. And I use it as a cue for her to know that a time-out is on its way.

Works 9 out of 10 times

It works perfect! Well at least it did until just recently.Wen we would go out in public he started testeding me and quit responding to 1-2-3 Magic

MY SON STILL RESPONDS WELL TO IT

I don't know what it is about the number 1 but it sure makes my daughter get going

It works but she thinks its a game.
