Parenting

 1-2-3 MAGIC by Thomas Phelan

This book will enable parents to discipline children, ages 2 to 12, by instituting a system of counting and time-outs, delivered straightforwardly and unemotionally. Use this plan to stop undesirable behavior, stimulate desirable conduct, and cope with children's testing like pouting, bedtime, dressing as well in the all-too familiar incidences of children testing and manipulating their elders. Best of all, the method enables parents to control their kids without yelling . . . or worse. The author also covers homework, active listening, self-esteem, behavior in public/school.
