I have a toddler who is about to turn 3. My mother is 72 and we were all having breakfast the other morning. My son was acting up about no returning something of my mother's and she used her mean mommy voice and said "I'm going to count to 3!" My son just looked at her like "cool story bro" and eventually I was able to get him to return the item. In the back of my head of course he doesn't know what that means bc I don't use it yet. I honestly don't even remember what my mom would do after counting to 3! Like what did your parents do? Throw away your toys (my BIL did that with an ipad!)? Just curious what people experienced growing up and if you implement it in your parenting styles.
