Critic reviews

"Phelan's 1-2-3 is the gold standard of child discipline for good reason." ( Library Journal)
All stars

The book is a must for any parent with a child that is out of control or wants to push the boundrys.. It worked within a matter of hours and continues to work. Nothing to loose, give it a try....

IT WORKS!

Very easy to understand, just wish it was structured better for audiobook. I think it's best in conjunction with the book as a companion

Helps a lot!

The content is mostly great, sometimes a bit sales-pitchy but I think it needs to be rewritten for the 21st century. As the father I've been insulted as much as I've been educated by the authors outdated stereotypes of dads. "Also buy my three simple DVDs to help get buy-in from your reluctant and useless husbands" is detracting from the good messages within.

Useful but the author doesn't give fathers enough credit

Training children like animals might be effective initially but what are you really teaching them in the long run? Probably a useful book if things are totally out of control at home.

not going to end well
