This book is a God-send for anyone with children elementary - middle school age. As a teacher, I found it incredibly helpful to create and maintain a level of classroom discipline and structure that the little ones so desperately need in order to have the most fun without feeling like they're "in trouble" all the time. And if you're worried about not remembering who has how many strikes, don't worry = they rat each other out! It's a wonderful way for you as a parent (or a teacher) to form a stronger bond with your child / children, to make them understand action + consequences, and to strengthen a loving relationship where the arms are still open after their "time out" or whatever the suitable punishment is. It's very easy to master as it's based on a concept you and they can relate to = 3 strikes, you're out! Within a few days, you won't even get to 3 strikes, you'll realize the behavior changes by 1 or 2! Amazing :)

With 3 kids in our home, we tried it out....we applied it religiously to every child. Worked like a charm for my pretty normal, mildly ADD middle child. Same for my third child. However, my oldest child who happened to be Bipolar and what his psychiatrist described as 'the most severe case' of ADHD she'd seen in 20 years' practice, was able to foil it every step of the way. If it was 1-2-3 ...he'd laugh and say, yeh, right. Remove additonal privileges, he'd laugh and walk out of the house. Oh, no....does NOT work for every child.
And by the way, what is with the sappy sitcom, upper middle class folks they have in the tapes? Come on -- LIFE IS NOT THE COSBY SHOW.
Save your money, be more discriminating and VERY VERY careful if you have A VERY DIFFICULT, alphabet soup-diagnosed child. Try "Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach" if you have a child who meets my description.

I bought this book after hearing great praise about it. Let's just say I wish I would of heard about this book years ago. I could not wait to start this method in my house, and it has been great. Every day was stressed, for both myself and the kids because of the yelling, nagging, and pleading. Now nobody is stressed. I am so happy that I got this book and have started using it. I was going to give it to my cousin to use but I have decided to keep it and just buy her a copy. My youngest whom is not old enough for the 1-2-3 method, will grow up knowing what it is and that it has an effect. I am telling everyone about this book. I agree with the other review that, this book should be given out at the hospital. Every parent should atleast know about this book. I hope every parent reads this book. Its the best one I have found and it works!!
