1-2-3 Magic

1-2-3 Magic (1995) is a clear and thorough guide to one of the most difficult yet important aspects of parenting: discipline. By outlining essential parenting principles and demonstrating simple and immediately applicable techniques, it creates a roadmap for taking back control of your home and building a much more enjoyable relationship with your child. Whether your goal is to stop the bad behavior of a tantrum-prone toddler or encourage good behavior in your pre-teen, this revised sixth edition will give you the tools you need to discipline responsibly.

• Overwhelmed parents of younger children who need to adopt a new approach to discipline
• Exhausted carers of pre-teens who want to have more control over bad behavior
• Anyone who feels like they spend more time fighting than having fun with their child
