The idea behind counting 1-2-3...take 5 is that numbers only are counted. Words are not used to explain reasons for bad behavior. According to 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents, adding explanations and comments to this discipline approach can distract the child from the consequence of poor behavior. It can take a child's focus off the possibility of good behavior and put it on the prospect of an enjoyable and energetic argument.
"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tounge of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 12:18
