I overcame this when I was like 12, but prior, I had to go back and keep it "Even.". If I went down a slide, I would climb back up it, and I would count every step based on my age. Age 6: 123 123 123 123 123 123 Age 7: 123 123 1 123 123 1 123 123 1 Age 10: 12345 12345 12345
I still have similar problems like this, like chewing gum and counting it twice.
1, 2 1, 2 1, 2 1, 2
It sucks. I also have to keep an even amount of stuff on my desk or it feel unbalanced.
