When my littlest brother was learning to count, he would count the first object twice (0, 1) then continue as normal. Honestly, it depends on the situation, and I think you got it right. Things start at 1, steps start at 0. But starting at 0 presents a problem. If I have a set of stairs with 5 steps, I either count the ground or the landing in my steps but never both. If I want to get to the middle (3rd) step, if I'm at the bottom I just count 1, 2, 3 steps and I'm there, but if I'm at the top I only count 2 steps down. There are really 6 positions I could be, but only 5 steps. You guys may have this down, but it still trips me up sometimes.
