Baby Magic November 16, 2009

I bought this book on strong recommendation from my pediatrician. I'm sure it will be as good as she says.

Spare your kids! October 29, 2009
Fran I. Sugarman
2 out of 7 found this review helpful

Though this probably has to do more with the parents than the system, I really hate "1-2-3 magic". My parents have used it to torture me over the years. Whenever I say something they disapprove of I automatically go to a "2". This infuriates me because not only are they not following the thing, what can provoke a 1, 2, or 3 can be little to nothing. This system encourages kids to test their parents and to see how far they can go without being punished (I admit to doing this on a few occasions). As an 8th grader I am still tortured by this god-awful system and have been for the past 3-4 years. No matter how bad your children's behavior is please spare them and don't use this!!

Works like a charm... October 26, 2009
Consistent Mama (Oxford, Michigan USA)
I use this discipline strategy for both of my children. The name of the game is consistency. If you count to 3, give them a time-out - EVERYTIME. I rarely have to get to 3. My children usually stop as soon as they hear #1. If they are tired and things are crazy, sometime I get to #2. I give them time-outs the length of their age (girl 4 and boy 3).

Magic is exactly right! October 20, 2009

This book was recommended to me and it works!!! Just like magic!
This book should be given to every parent as they leave the hospital with a baby. They can have it read and be ready to start as soon as the child is old enough. I have recommended this book already to several people.

Lifesaver! October 19, 2009

I love love love this book. It helped me out with my strong willed son, we still struggle, but I only need to count to two and he knows if we get three it's trouble. This book was a lifesaver for me:)
