Review: It really is Magic!A must have for any parent/caretaker! But the book you won’t regret it! - Words can’t begin to describe how much this book, workbook and program have changed our lives for the better. We have split households and 1-2-3 Magic was recommended to me by my neuropsychologist so I figured why not give it a try it couldn’t hurt? We had tried everything , we attributed much of their behavior outbursts / whining and crying to the divorce years ago and figured they were going through something so we both were at a loss , we were both raised by strict and loving parents and those are the type we wanted to be and we thought we were but the kids weren’t listening and it ended with us just being frustrated ...I felt helpless until I said well what could another book hurt, why not give this a shot? The reviews seemed too good to be true (I’m sure if you’re reading this that is what you’re thinking ). We wanted to try something first ourselves before exploring other options (ie. Play therapy etc) All in all I was able to get the entire family on board on our side and their mothers... even grandparents! And, all I have to say is YES it is true the first few days are a bit brutal , the 4 year old thew more tantrums than I had ever seen but then about a week in it stopped like magic...the 6 year old was listening better and being more respectful and all of a sudden like magic with a simple and calm 1-2-3 peace and structure were restored in our house . As they say it takes a village and If you can get 1 household on it or anyone that watches your children or has a critical constant role in their lives I highly recommend them using this too because I feel that has been a huge factor in the success is having the “entire village” on this program because believe me when I say this works, I don’t think there has been a person I haven’t told about this, even if your kids are perfect angels this book just is a good “manual” to have and may make you think differently, I know it did for me and opened my eyes to so much. Buy the book , you will not regret it! Review: You THINK it’s a basic parenting book but there is a lot more to it - So I picked up this book based on a reference to better handle my six year old autistic, FASD, ADHD child who is doing well but was becoming more defiant of late. The book is pretty close to the parenting that I have been doing BUT for some important differences. I updated my approach to match the book and BANG! my son snapped right back into being a pretty good kid. I developed my parenting approach over 10 years using trial and error with my kids. This book validated most of my approach but did a lot more such as: 1) Explaining WHY the approach is needed. This is important because you better understand when and when not to use an approach. 2) Goes over the border cases of how to apply an approach and when to seek help (which wasn’t needed by me but is comforting to know). 3) Explains the approach in detail. This is more important than you may think as for example, you may know the basics (counting 1, 2, 3) but the details such as not making a comment or explaining your actions to your child are important! This book explains why that is important and because you know why you shouldn’t talk, you know when to break the rule. I wish I had read this book when my first child was born. It would have saved us all some pain and suffering. There are some tweaks I would recommend for a neural divergent child but they fall within the suggestions of the book and again, because you know why you do things, you know when to break the rules as called out in the book. I strongly recommend this book. If I can use it effectively to manage my speech delayed, ADHD, autistic, FASD child, you can certainly use it effectively on your neural normal child. Happy Parenting! PS: For special needs parents: having a book explaining how you are parenting your child is quite useful. My school district did not provide special training to teachers and special needs aides. Being able to give them a book explaining how to work with him has all kinds of knock on benefits. This will be a book I plan to provide to his teachers at the start of each year! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,171 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in School-Age Children Parenting #7 in Dysfunctional Families (Books) #7 in Parenting & Family Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,009 Reviews | ## Images ![1-2-3 Magic: Gentle 3-Step Child & Toddler Discipline for Calm, Effective, and Happy Parenting (Positive Parenting Guide for Raising Happy Kids) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71toiNez7yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really is Magic!A must have for any parent/caretaker!
