1-2-3 Magic saved my marriage and my sanity.
“I have three boys, ages 2, 4 and 8. 1-2-3 Magic saved my marriage and my sanity. I bought the book and the video last fall. As a result, I am proud to say that even when I am completely exhausted from disciplining all three of them all day (yes, I count, yes I am consistent and yes, I am still exhausted), I know in my heart that I have climbed the highest parenting mountain and succeeded without getting a migraine, spanking, yelling or screaming at them. I really feel like I am on top of the world, and I have you to thank.”

    Excellent!
    “This book is wonderful! The strategies are simple, straightforward, & best of all, successful!! I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to stop fighting/arguing/begging with their kids to behave. I can't say enough about this book- if done correctly, these strategies will work on almost any child.”
      Bottom Line:
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Happy Customer!!
      “I am proud to say we have two beautifully well behaved, respectful daughters who frequently comment on other adults' poor parenting skills. Like my mother handed Dr. Spock down to me, (my Dad was the one who'd introduced 1-2-3 Magic when my eldest daughter was about 2...and seemingly incorrigible) I will be handing 1-2-3 Magic down to my girls.”

          Life changing for parents & teachers!
          “I admit I was one of those parents that VOWED I'd never count to three with my children because I'd seen it fail so many times in public with other parents! After some desperation, I reluctantly purchased 1-2-3 Magic and it revolutionized our home. I still use it today and they're 11 & 14. It's a relief to be freed from endless debates & yelling! I also use 1-2-3 Magic as a preschool teacher. It's something that kids 2 & up can all understand easily. It gives them the choice...let's them feel that they aren't entirely out of control. It takes most of the wind out of the sails in that age old "battle of the wills" because they are choosing their own outcome.”
            Bottom Line:
            Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
