1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 by Thomas W. Phelan
3.0
The jury's still out on this one. And I've only read half of it. Because I got the video for my husband to watch and it is, quite literally, exactly like the book. So I'm just going to get the video for the second half of the book. I know it's lazy.
The thing I like about this book is that it is a discipline system that is simple and gentle. And the point of it is to stop fighting with your kids all the time so that you can enjoy them. I like the idea of that, although I haven't gotten to that point yet.
The first half of the book, about stopping annoying and obnoxious behavior, has been somewhat helpful. I think maybe it could potentially be really helpful if I could be super consistent with it. My daughter is really manipulative, though, and I don't feel like the book gives me quite enough help in that regard. I will have to continue on with this discipline systen and see how it goes.
