Synopsis

Based on the bestselling parenting book 1-2-3 Magic, and adapted especially for kids!

"1-2-3 Magic made parenting fun again."

"I highly recommend this book to any parent who is spending more time yelling at or nagging their children than smiling at and laughing with them."

"All I have to say is that the ideas in this book really WORK! It really is like magic!"

"It's such a relief to not feel like I'm constantly yelling at someone! If you want to see a fast improvement in your child's behavior, check out 1-2-3 Magic."

The popular 1-2-3 Magic parenting program has been adapted to be introduced from a child's point of view! This innovative guide explains the child discipline system―from counting and time-out methods to how better behavior benefits the entire family and leaves more time for play―with clear, easy-to-understand language and lots of illustrations.

1-2-3 Magic for Kids describes the basics of the 1-2-3 Magic program, including:

Positive reinforcement
Charting
The docking system

A question-and-answer section outlines common family situations and questions from kids, including:

What if I don't go to my room?
Will I still be counted if I have a friend over?
What kinds of things can we do for one-on-one fun?

Crossword puzzles, word searches, and journal suggestions further encourage children to apply what they've learned about the methods, and make 1-2-3 Magic for Kids a fun way to get kids on board with the new rules at home.
