Question of the Week:
"I've been using 1-2-3 Magic for about 6 months and it's been really effective in getting my 6 year old to improve his behavior. However, when he is ver angry and doesn't get his own way he his me. I give him an automatic 3 and timeout/consequence but he is continuing to hit me when he can't have his own way (this is happening about twice a week). Do you have any other advice or an alternative strategy that I could try?
Do you have a question about the 1-2-3 Magic program, or a challenge you've not been able to resolve?
