Default 1st-2nd gear shifting in 4-LOW

I know someone has mentioned this before, but I can't find it, why does the tranny shift so quickly from 1 to 2 when in 4LO (auto), I would not like that kind of quick shift on extreme trails, if I put the stick down to 1, it stays in 1 but if I put it into 2, 1 one starts and 2 kicks in about 2 seconds later. In D it's the same thing. Do I have a problem, is this normal or is there a good fix to this? Thanks guys!!!

because your RPM's jump faster in 4lo.. shifts based on RPM's...
