This review is from: 1-2-3 Magic: Managing Difficult Behavior in Children 2-12 (DVD)

I have read many books on how to manage children with difficult behavior but this is the only method I found extremely useful. I am a teacher and I teach in a bilingual elementary school. The first time I used it it worked! I couldn't believe it. I think that all the teachers and parents should watch this DVD. I've watched it 6 times and every time I find something I've missed. I have tried it on very wild kids, it works so effectively. I don't get frustrated or angry anymore. This is the best 36 dollars I have ever spent. Thank you Dr. Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars not a quick fix, but sure makes it easier, February 10, 2006

As a professional who works with families of children with challenging behaviors, this is a resource I recommend over and over. Parenting, especially in this time of conflicting advice from all around, is tough work. Dr. Phelan boils behavior management down to a few key principles within a system that makes it as simple as possible for parents to stay consistent -- the key to any discipline.

I've used this as a classroom teacher, a consultant, a parent educator, and as a parent myself, and while I have tweaked it a little over the years, I recommend any parent give it a try. Also, the video format makes it easier for parents to stay on the same page since they can (and should) watch it together and make a consistent game plan.
