Highly recommended for parents who spend more time yelling than enjoying their kids.

Thomas Phelan, Ph. D.

The popular 1-2-3 Magic program has been adapted to be introduced from the child’s point of view.  This innovative guide explains the child discipline system—from counting and time-out methods to how better behavior benefits the entire family and leaves more time for play—with clear, easy-to-understand language, and lots of illustrations.

Crossword puzzles, word searches and journal suggestions encourage the child to apply the methods, and make 1-2-3 Magic for Kids a fun way to get kids to willingly comply with the new rules at home. 

Basics of this program include:

*Positive reinforcement

*Charting

*The docking system

A question-and-answer section outlines common family situations, and questions from kids, including:

*What if I don’t go to my room?

*Will I still be counted if I have a friend over?

*What kinds of things can we do for one-on-one fun?
