Special Note from Michael Smalley: "I can not stress enough how powerful this simply parenting book is! Amy and I were at our wits end with our middle child, the typical "strong-willed" child. We were feeling totally helpless and out-of-control with our middle child until our supervisor at Wheaton College recommended 1-2-3 Magic. All I can say is that it is truly amazing how his system turns negative beavhior around and gives back control over your family! Thanks Dr. Phelan for creating such an amazing parenting system!"
