What if there’s an obvious problem between the children, but you didn’t see what happened? ” You haven’t the slightest idea what the problem is, but the chances are the issue revolves around sibling rivalry. In general our rule is this: If you didn’t see the argument or conflict, you don’t count it; if you hear it, you can count it. ” Of course, you want to use this rule with flexibility.

The 1-2-3 is not working anymore. ” What’s the problem here? Ninety percent of the time—not all the time—the problem is that the parents “forgot” the No-Talking and NoEmotion rules.

You would not say “That’s 1” at nine in the morning, “That’s 2” at 11:15, and “That’s 3, take 5” at three in the afternoon.
