Format:Audio CD
I bought the audio cd as it covers 1 2 3 Magic and More 1 2 3 magic.
I have enjoyed listening to the cd's albeit the music and intro are a bit irritating to my "Non- American" ears.
Thomas Phelan's presentation is witty and full of sense. I have only just started to use 1 2 3 magic with my 6 & 7 year old and life is already much calmer and the children have responded well to it. I think starting out with young children or those who are not familiar with time outs will have more of a challenge but the hard work is worth it.

Effective!
11 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
We were looking for an effective, gentle and respectful way to discipline our very spirited 5 year old. This is the best resourse we have found to date. The no emotion and little talking approach works very well with our child.

This book has changed my family's life!
14 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have four children: a 7-year old, two 4-year olds and a 5 month old. Our oldest three we adopted out of foster care just this year. Our son (4-years old) is ADHD and quite alot of work. While this has not completely changed all of his behaviors, it has completely changed the way my husband and I deal with him as well as our daughters. Words cannot describe how pleased I am with this program. It can help anyone! I recommend it to all of my friends!

Works well, bit simplistic in design
21 Dec 2006
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
While I can't dispute the effectiveness of this (see my 3 year-old react when I say "three"!), it's almost too simplistic: the author tries to imply that nearly every behavior can be corrected by doing a 1-2-3 method. While that works well in a lot of situations, he doesn't tell you what to do when the child is in Target, screaming blood-curdling yells, in the middle of the store floor. And you can't pick up a kid in this condition (to drag them to a time-out location, for instance), when they purposely stiffen their bodies so they slip out of your grip. And let me tell you, "1-2-3" does NOT effect a kid in full-on hellion mode, whether a timeout is being threatened or losing a toy, fun trip somewhere, or whatever. So a little help about "what to do when X happens," would've been good (I don't expect him to anticipate the million situations you can be in, but every parent experiences the full-on tantrum where nothing works).
Other than that, it really does work quite a bit. He's right in the idea that you can't talk during the discipline (though I learned to explain what my daughter was doing wrong and what I wanted her to do before we got to 1-2-3). And tag-teaming by both parents is really critical in having this work its full effect. I just wish he'd have given more on "here's what you do in this situation" rather than introducing what some pediatricians call "bribery" (he pays his kids 25 cents per so many minutes to be quiet in the car on road trips--sounds good on tape, til you realize that yep, you're bribing your kids--something I do quite a bit HA, but something the child psych doctors complain about).
Definitely worth the investment, though, for controlling at least half of the problems you might have with discipline. And it's presented in an enjoyable, pleasant format that makes you forget you're listening to a self-help tape (I listened to them all within a few days while running errands). Lastly, you'll feel better learning that every other parent out there has the same problems and challenges in child rearing that you have. Good buy.
