1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 by Thomas W. Phelan

4.0

Parenting with the assistance of books is definitely something I do, as I really have no idea what I’m doing half the time. A large number of points made in this book make sense to me, such as the no-talking, no-emotion rule and the 1,2,3 system giving children two chances to change their behaviour before punishment. The concept of taking back control of the house as a parent is particularly attractive. Whether or not the system works for us remains to be seen!
