I wish I had read this book months ago!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 (Paperback)
We had tried everything to try and show our 3 year old son who is in charge. We could'nt go to restaurants (or almost and public place for that matter) without it ending in a meltdown and being bitten, pinched and hit by our son. Even at home if he didn't get his way he would bite/hit/pinch/scream. We agreed not to spank, but found ourselves yelling often. Many days I ended up in tears. My son's preschool teacher recommeded this book. I stayed up almost all night one night reading it, and put it into action. It has changed everything! Not only does the counting method really work (I had sort of used my own counting before, but I wasn't following the "no talking no emotions" rule), but we just feel more in charge and in control, which our son seems to sense and respond to. He is much better behaved all the way around, but if he does have a meltdown it is gone right after "that's two". I can't believe what a difference this has made in my house!

No Magic, but: Sane, Simple, Quick - with no yelling. Yay!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 (Audio Cassette)
I listened to the tape of this book while I commuted. In less than a week I was ready.Within 5 minutes our son understood the new 'rules of the game'. Within 2 days we had a more sane house. Yes, really. The discipline of the old days was 'spank your kid', and many of us reject this. The problem is that there wasn't a replacement that worked. So some parents keep spanking, some parents just yell all day. Either way, it's not a happy feeling of control. The basics of the 1-2-3 method are simple, kid-understandable, quick-to-implement, & quick to explain. (So you can even get care-takers, teachers, cub-scout leaders in on the game - to have some consistency.) But don't kid yourself - the real value is in understanding all of it. I don't believe I'm actually writing this but - just try it and you'll be a believer too. I loved the audio tape especially. In the first few minutes of the tape, the initial '1-2-3 Magic' is revealed. I wanted to start that day. Then examples, tactics for multiple kids and reinforcement follow. All of it is key to recognizing your kid's techniques for handling YOU, and creating the sane environment we all wish for. OK, life still isn't perfect, but this information goes a very long way to getting you out of the nightmare you might be in. I've bought copies for my sister, my friends, and my church. Every time I see a screaming parent and a crying kid, (or a nasty, defiant kid), I wish I had the nerve to give them a copy. No, I don't work for the author, but I sure would like to thank him. ;-)

Easy reading and easy INSTRUCTIONS,
By A Customer
This review is from: 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 (Paperback)
This book provides some actual techniques for discipline, not just psychological analysis. I do understand my child's strong will and intensity, but have had a hard time getting this 4 year-old in control. I was using a 1-2-3 method of my own prior to reading this book, but this book has given me better guidelines for consistency. The advice on getting your child to do what the things they should, has truly worked magically for our 4 year old. It is well worth the small price for the book. I have at least 6 other parenting books for "strong-willed" children, and this one is the best for hands-on methods for keeping both parent and child in control.
