    About this ebook

    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 relationshipavoiding 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.

    • 3/5
      I'd give the techniques at least 4/5 stars, but the presentation leaves much to be desired. Put succinctly, this book's origin as a pamphlet is obvious. It should be rewritten from scratch or at least heavily edited. I would have organized the material much differently, possibly arranging techniques, advice, and tips according to age groups. Even so, the content is quite good.
    • 5/5
      This is a great technique for disciplining children. I began using it when my son was about three, and it still works (although I don't have to use it very often now at all).
    • 4/5
      I have known about this method of discipline for several years, but have only just gotten around to reading the book in regards to implementing the entire strategy. This strategy works wonders with my children. The only thing that I question about this book is that the cover implies that this can be used for children over 2. Since I currently have a 2 year old, I tend to disagree that this strategy works with a child so young. I would feel confident that it would start to work with a 3 year old, but 2 is just too young. Otherwise, if you are at your wits end over how to discipline your children effectively, then this is the book you need.
    • 4/5
      I liked this book. It's practical and achievable advice on disciplining kids (and growing relationships with your kids)

      Great potential as a manual to take charge of a hectic household with the end goal to make life happier, more harmonious, and to be able to actually enjoy your kids more.

      Other reviews took issue with the tone of the book. I can see how some parents who are in awe and worship of their little darlings might find the tone off-putting (I don't mean that as sarcastically as it sounds) it was just right for me, as I'm a little irreverent about everything (not just parenting) myself.

      Check it out.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic! The routines he suggests for bedtime etc. aren't quite right for us, but the efficient, effective approach to discipline has made things go much more smoothly for me with my kids, and the reminder to enjoy them has been great too. Life is better now that I've read this and am using it, so it's five stars.
    • 4/5
      This system is very doable and works. It helped staff and kids a lot at the residential school where I interned.
    • 4/5
      Very easy to read & implement. We have been using this technique for 2 years with our sons and have had very good results.
    • 4/5
      If you stick with this system, it can be very effective for some children. It's definitely worth your time to read and try!
