No way. I taught my son to count like this:

Daddy, may I have some candy?

Sure, son, how much would you like?

Five.

(I give him three)

Thanks, dad!

How many did I give you son?

Hmmmmmm. Three, hey! Give me more.

How many more, son?

etc.

My son can count/ad/subtract and he's 3 1/2!

Skepticism is a very very good teacher.

"What does not kill us makes us stronger."

Now I just have to teach him that he can trust me SOMETIMES.

Anyone think I'm a monster?
