parenting book

I gave this book to my adult children, parents of a 2 year old. They read it with great interest and immediately started to put into practice some of the 1-2-3 methods described in the book. They said it is amazing how they work, and diffuse much of the tension in dealing with a normally stubborn 2 year old.
Thank you

very useful for our family

Our family used this very intensely for a period and it was very useful. I think it is good for certain ages - maybe ages 5 to 10. The most radical idea I learned is that sending a kid to their room (if they get a "3") was a form of discipline. This book was a good investment for us. I have to adjust discipline methods over time, but 1-2-3 is in my toolbox now. My new method if they get a "double" is to make them do chores around the house (cat litter, toilets, garbage, or weeds).

great discipline techinque!

While I have not yet finished this book and begun using this discipline method, some of my friends have, and they have had success. The book is easy to follow, and slightly humorous which is great for me since I am struggling w/the "terrible two's". I am looking forward to beginning using the suggestions in this book with my little girl!

Parent help

The book is great at helping you get your household organized so your kids know how to behave. It has helped me with one of my children. You still will need to have someone help you through issues that are unique to your house hold.

This revised edition of the award-winning 1-2-3 Magic program addresses the difficult task of child discipline with humor, keen insight, and proven experience. The technique offers a foolproof method of disciplining children ages two through 12 without arguing, yelling, or spanking. By means of three easy-to-follow steps, parents learn to manage troublesome behavior, encourage good behavior, and strengthen the parent-child relationship—avoiding the "Talk-Persuade-Argue-Yell-Hit" syndrome which frustrates so many parents. Ten strategies for building a child?s self-esteem and the six types of testing and manipulation a parent can expect from the child are discussed, as well as tips on how to prevent homework arguments, make mealtimes more enjoyable, conduct effective family meetings, and encourage children to start doing their household chores. New advice about kids and technology and new illustrations bring this essential parenting companion completely up-to-date.
