1-2-3 Magic: Effective disciple for children

I'm always looking for new information on discipline. I found this book a disappointment. It does not teach sound discipline. Obedience should be immediate and complete. Counting to three just leads to testing of authority. I listened to three chapters and threw it back in the mail. Maybe I'm just one tough Christian parent.

Loved It!

Excellent. A very simple yet effective way for managing your children. My wife now spends more time enjoying our children than she did disciplining them. No more yelling or screaming in my house. Great book.
