 fantastic March 17, 2010
Martha S Varney (MA, USA)
I received this book so quickly. It was recommended to me by my daughter-in-law, who is a teacher and has 2 young children.
I take care of 2 boys 5 and 7 and love the strategies to implement with them
 Sound, practical advice February 21, 2010
Scott Walker (Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin)
Using real life situations Phelan gives us straight forward, simple techniques that will demand perseverance and perhaps resourcefulness. I was leery when the author delved into the area of psychoanalysis. Also, I don't agree with his "no dessert or treat" for a punishment. This implies one food as being more important than others. And, he frequently points to ADD and others, as battlegrounds. I believe this to be an excuse; what young boy doesn't have it. And I was surprised by the "no spanking" rule. I don't know how you can rule it out though I agree when used in excess it loses its effectiveness. Although some chapters were superfluous he did get to the point often enough to convey sound, practical advice. What if the child reacts with his own resourcefulness? He gives us helpful ideas to combat it and how to react. I have started using the system and am thankful for the book. My son usually doesn't give me the chance to get to 3:
The title led me to believe it referred to the "counting", but it is actually the "steps": The first step is getting us started, the second is getting your kid started and the third is the most wonderful of all, building a relationship. Though counting is used for discipline, but the mistake that many tend to make is to count for what you "want" them to do instead for what they are "doing". Two other areas that Phelan touches on is the use of discipline outside the house and what to do with more serious problems. It is crucial we stay calm and not talk too much or, convey emotions; we should not try to reason with toddlers, but this will change with age.
Lord bless

discipline made fun February 15, 2010
S. Brunelle (Nashville, TN)
I bought this book as a give-away prize in foster parent classes that I teach. The DVD is a delight to watch and gives parents many positive options for discipline. It provides insights into the minds of children and how "to teach" positive behaviors.
Perfect title February 14, 2010
K. Weaver (Suffolk, VA)
It really works! I have very active 4 year old twins. They both respond to the count of one now! (most of the time)
Easy Discipline February 12, 2010
Linda M. Leonelli (Philadelphia, PA)
Bought several of these books from my daughters and friends and I can report that they are all pleased with the easy steps in letting the child know that YOU are the 'pack leader'. This is about consistency, and discipline and lessons without resorting to spanking or shouting. Easy read.
