We do the three count -- but my SIL counts DOWN from three. You've never seen such terror in my son's eyes as when my SIL STARTED with three, and he thought he was going to get "it."
I asked my best friend this when his kids were young - he said he didn't know - he never ever got to three!! I was amazed!! My own son has pushed me to three a number of times but I am stymied since he just giggles throughout timeouts...
I am a tenured faculty member at a large state university. My teaching efforts primarily consist of delivering statistics lectures to social science majors. These experiences have colored my perspective somewhat.

You learned much faster than I did. I went the repeated sampling route. Maybe that is why I became a statistician.
My mother's response to this question was characteristically blunt: "I'll knock your teeth down your throat."
Of course, I knew she was kidding.
Or was she?
