"Everywhere you go, you keep overhearing other moms say to their misbehaving children, 'That's one. That's two. That's three.' And then you watch in disbelief as their kid actually stops!"—PopSugar Moms

        Starred review from February 15, 2016

        In this updated edition of best-selling author Phelan's classic 1-2-3 program, the author retains the charming humor, realistic scenarios, poignant cartoons, and spot-on dialog of the previous editions. Parents will find the support, reasoning, and tools they need to change the most irritating behaviors kids throw at them. From solutions to whining, sibling rivalry, badgering, and temper tantrums to refusing to do chores or melting down in public, Phelan's method has a proven track record of ending the negotiations and getting kids back on track. Any parent can count to three...the challenge of course will be for them to use the plan consistently and without emotional feedback. VERDICT Phelan's 1-2-3 is the gold standard of child discipline for good reason. All libraries should update to the new edition and purchase in sufficient quantities.
