What is it?? Can u explain? Books or DVDs ? Which ones are good for toddler? Just saw something about it on another board. Just curious if it's helpful and which DVD or book is good.

I believe it's both. I borrowed the book from the library and I think there was a DVD available also. It's a great book for parents on discipline without using physical force. Count to three approach and there is a consequence.

i've got the book and love it. i started using it a year ago for the bedtime routine. it worked like magic for us. now i use it for time outs. again, works great. key is consistency though. we slacked on the bedtime thing and now that she's out of her crib, we battle again. and it's way harder now but the book still has some awesome advice IMO.

I like the concept of it. 

DS right now though, isn't getting it. He thinks it's awesome when I start counting and he counts along with me (he can count to 10 with a few mixed up numbers). He's just so cute when he does it that I get distracted so I have had to be a little more direct.

I bought this book cause I was having discipline problems with my 2.5 yr old.  When I do count 1, he then says two and so on all the time laughing.  He won't stay in time out, I am constantly having to stand behind him and almost hold him onto the chair. I personally don't think it's working for us, we've used it for 3 weeks now.  I am at a loss, nothing is working. Sorry.
