Helping Your Children Understand the New Rules

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, and 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.
