Dr. Phelan has a terrific 'uncluttered' and humorous approach to child and parent rearing!" Sally N. - Palo Alto, CA 1-2-3 Magic saved my marriage and my sanity. I have three boys, ages 2, 4 and 8. 1-2-3 Magic saved my marriage and my sanity. I bought the book and the video last fall. As a result, I am proud to say that even when I am completely exhausted from disciplining all three of them all day (yes, I count, yes I am consistent and yes, I am still exhausted), I know in my heart that I have climbed the highest parenting mountain and succeeded without getting a migraine, spanking, yelling or screaming at them. I really feel like I am on top of the world, and I have you to thank. Tanya Boone-Alva - Cotati, CA Absolutely thrilled with the life changing results... I was absolutely thrilled with the life changing results that occurred immediately after reading your book and watching the video with my (then) young children. As a divorced dad, who was an admitted yeller before I met and heard Dr. Phelan the first time. I haven't yelled at either of my children since. They were five and two at the time of the first seminar. They are 14 and 10 now !! I actually bought a copy of the book for my ex-wife, who I was not friendly with at the time, and asked her to read the book and apply the techniques for the benefit of our children. She did...it worked! The rest is amazing history... Jon, a divorced father of two - Fort Wayne, IN Happy Customer!! I am proud to say we have two beautifully well behaved, respectful daughters who frequently comment on other adults' poor parenting skills. Like my mother handed Dr. Spock down to me, (my Dad was the one who'd introduced 1-2-3 Magic when my eldest daughter was about 2...and seemingly incorrigible) I will be handing 1-2-3 Magic down to my girls. Sometimes we take for granted the help we receive from perfect strangers! I wanted to share my deepest gratitude to Dr. Phelan and his staff for simplifying our young parenting days and giving our children such stability through his advice. I appreciate how important it is to have both parents on "the same page" and willing to implement these tactics, and I was fortunate enough to have both scenarios at hand. Although, I must say, my husband was much better at getting the ball rolling than I was!! Thank you again for your wonderful resources. One Very Blessed Mom! Palm Harbor, FL Within 24 hours our home was a different place. I just read 1 2 3 Magic last week. Within 24 hours our home was a different place. This book has changed me from an unhappy yelling frustrated mom, into an effective, loving mother. This book has given me the tools I needed to make my children happy! They know where they stand, they have their self respect back, and their self esteem is secure. My 4 yr old, who I thought was moody, negative and angry, is so sweet and docile. She's happy! We're all happy! I really cannot thank Dr. Phelan enough. Nothing in my life has had such an impact on me. My own upbringing was not good, and so I didn't have the tools I needed to be a good parent. And it's helped me on a personal level as well. Because I'm a calmer more thoughtful mother, I'm a calmer, more thoughtful person. It's effects are far reaching. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I tell everyone about this book. It has truly transformed our lives. Jenny Cowgill - Maroa, IL A favorite among our viewers... A favorite among our viewers, Dr. Phelan offers practical yet innovative advice that both teaches and reassures parents. Neil Woulfe, Executive Producer, Chicago's FOX NEWS "Your [book] is the clearest, shortest, and most concise that I've read." Carol S., ADD parent Right On! Extremely informative. Right On! Parent - Kennebunk, ME 1-2-3 Magic has been a life saver for my son and for us... ...1-2-3 Magic has been a life saver for my son and for us...Within months, he was a different child! ...You probably get thousands of letters saying how great this system is, and here's another one. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Margarite Roumas, Ph.D. - Southborough, MA My children have been more cooperative in everything they do. Since my husband & I have been using 1-2-3 Magic, my children have been more cooperative in everything they do. They are much happier and I actually wake up wanting to be with them instead of dreading the moment their little eyes open. I tell everyone how great it is and the parents that have used it all agree... It saved all of our lives. Mother - Franklin, NY "The examples and clear language in this book really made it clear to me that sometimes, it's the parent who needs some attitude adjusting too." Parent - Longmont, CO "Recently, I formed a parent support group for parents of ADD children. One mom in my group exclaims again and again, ' Dr. Phelan is our mentor. What would we have done without him?' All of us have found your tapes very helpful and share them constantly with family members, teachers and everyone we hope to educate about ADD" Mary D., Parent of an ADD child - Frankfort, IL My deepest thanks for your contributions to the sanity of parents the world over. First, I want to say how grateful I am, as both a physician and mother of five children (three of whom have ADHD!) for your splendid publications. I shudder to think about the emotional shape my family could be in had we not used 1-2-3 Magic as our discipline plan. It has been so successful for us that we bought several copies over the years for our friends, family members and some of my dearest patients. What a relief to stumble across a program that preserves the dignity of the child, maintains the self-control of both disciplinarian and child and is actually easy to remember at those time when memory is the first thing to go! ...and again, my deepest thanks for your contributions to the sanity of parents the world over. Elisa Medhus, M.D., Author: RAISING SELF-INSPIRED CHILDREN "Congratulations on a really important video that should have an impact on the whole globe. This is a godsend for many, I'm sure. Thank you over and over again." ADD Adult, Lowry City, MO "This book helped me realize that my teenager wasn't as 'awful' as I thought and showed me what role I need to make this relationship with my teen enjoyable. Great guidelines of acceptable/unacceptable behavior for teens to help us 1st time teen parents. Also wonderful discipline ideas that are sensible!" Lori Kraemer - Michigan Approach truly is, life transforming! ...An additional source of frustration and ego deflation was that we are both in "helping professions." I am a marriage & family therapist -- he is a 1st year psychiatry resident. A close friend and colleague had the good fortune to watch me in action with Adam -- took one look and said ... "You need 1-2-3 Magic..." In short---THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Life has returned to a balanced state--harmony exists--my husband and I are in sync--and we love and enjoy our son even more. He knows "who's in charge"...and at some level, I'm convinced he's delighted to see us so united and not negative. I could go on--just know that your approach truly is, in our case--life transforming. Dr. & Mrs. Dan Haycraft - Evanston, IL "Thank you! My husband & I just finished watching your two part video, All About ADD. Where were you 10 years ago? Our life would have been so much easier." ADD Parents - Bradenton, FL "I would like to applaud Dr. Phelan on his candid approach to ADD." Sandra L. - Hammond, IN Works great for my family. I'm still having great success helping the parents in my community here in Wuerzburg, Germany better manage the behaviors of their children via your parenting techniques. And by the way, it still works great for my family; Katie 7, Christopher 5, and Gregory 2 years old. Pediatrician - Wuerzburg, Germany "My wife and I are thankful for fortunately viewing your videos. We have learned so much about A.D.D. children and we hope to gain more knowledge as time goes on." George S. - Toronto, Ontario Dr. Phelan, you are doing an outstanding job! I have watched your video 1-2-3 Magic about 200 times, and I look to you as a mentor, someone that understands what I am going through. ...The things that you said made me feel like I wasn't crazy or nuts. ...Dr. Phelan, you are doing an outstanding job! Thank you for your contribution to society! You really made a huge impact on me and the way I feel about being a mom! Miriam B An enormous gift to us! Your no nonsense, no emotion approach has been like an enormous gift to us! Mother - Naperville, IL 100% Effective It seems I'm constantly telling friends and strangers of this program. We have never used a discipline program that worked as well as this. ...Yours is 100% effective for us and I love how it has eliminated the anger in my husband and I at the boys. Mrs. Laura O. - Rolling Meadows, IL Amazed how well it worked immediately! I finally viewed the 1-2-3 Magic video and tried it out on my 8 year old step-son ... I am amazed at how well it worked immediately! Now it's only been a short time, but I'm very happy with it...I plan to recommend the video to my patients now that I've seen it and tried it out. William L. E., M.D., - Bloomingdale, IL The bickering, the whining and the rest of the bad habits have been drastically reduced. The bickering, the whining and the rest of the bad habits have been drastically reduced. (There have been lapses but only when we begin to 'reason' again.) The 'acid test' was Christmas vacation. It was so enjoyable that I actually missed them when they went back to school. Sandra & Joe S I wish dearly I had known about this as my children were growing up. We run a programme for children with behavioural problems and use the 1-2-3 Magic system very successfully. [Dr. Phelan's] enthusiasm is infectious and makes us even more determined to encourage the parents of the children we care for to use 1-2-3 Magic. From a personal point of view I wish dearly I had known about this as my children were growing up. I used a lot of the discipline techniques in a rather unstructured way i.e., counting, docking etc., but unfortunately I did not know about positive reinforcement. I now have an 11 week old grandson and intend to encourage my daughter to learn about and use 1-2-3 Magic. Does this point to a convert or what? Miriam Higgins, Preschool Administrator - Gillingham Kent, England I know the 1-2-3 works! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video 1-2-3 Magic...your sense of humor is great! And I know the 1-2-3 works! I'm advertising your tape to everyone I know. Grandparent The feedback we have gotten has been incredible! The feedback we have gotten (we also use 123 Magic for families who come in for counseling services) has been incredible! Many parents report rapid change in their children's behavior when they begin the program. An added bonus is the parents learn how to curtail their yelling and screaming now that they have a new approach to use. Personally, I have found that your program is helpful and informative in assisting us with our own two year-old-son. Certified Alcoholism Counselor - Howell, NJ Simply the best guide for parenting... Simply the best guide for parenting...humorous and to the point. John Blair, M.D. Pediatrician "I have used your tapes and methods in my practice for some years now and they have been tremendously effective. I can never express my gratitude for your contributions to my patients.... Over the past few years, I have treated over a thousand ADD patients. I know I have made a greater impact with them through passing on what I have learned from you ". H. Joseph Horacek, M.D., Charlotte, NC Extremely impressed ...I have shared the copy [1-2-3 Magic] I have with our staff and they are extremely impressed with the content of your book, the ease of application and the clarity it provides for families dealing with difficult situations. Thank you, for presenting such emotionally charged situations in a clear, concise and manageable technique. Dr. Dennis A. Hunyadi, Psychologist - Kalamazoo, MI "Excellent speaker, very realistic and powerful suggestions. I enjoyed every single minute of it." Registered Nurse - Needham, MA "I have just purchased and reviewed your video, MEDICATION FOR A.D.D. I find it to be excellent: it covers so many of the questions patients ask. I regularly see A.D.D. patients in my practice in Adult Psychiatry and am organizing an educational program in addition to counseling and referral for medication. I plan to include the video." Peter T., LCSW, Psychiatric Social Worker - Santa Clara, CA I have recently read (and made notes on) your book Surviving Your Adolescents and found it to be a breath of fresh air and very practical. ...I appreciate your work very much and hope to use it more often. Your engaging style, warmth, humor and focus on practical strategies really work!" David Gorrie, M.Ed., Educational Psychologist - Regina, Saskatchewan These materials are true "Lifesavers!" Thanks for making these concepts available to practitioners like myself, teachers and parents. These materials are true "Lifesavers!" Licensed Social Worker - Knoxville, TN "An excellent book! Dr. Phelan presents the material with depth, humor and personal interest. I will recommend it to all my patients!". J.D. Gross, M.D., Hammond Clinic Pediatrics, Munster, IN "[Dr. Phelan's] presentations were a tremendous hit. I feel that we have done a true community service by helping the many child professionals in the audience learn better how to guide parents in doing successful child management. I, personally, particularly enjoyed the talk on adolescence." Annette H. Lansford, M.D., Director, Child Disability Clinic - Urbana, IL Very well received and actually works! I have already received your 1-2-3 Magic book and videotape, and I am very impressed with it. I have copied your order form and attached the note 'HIGHLY RECOMMENDED' to it, and left the copies in my waiting room. This information has been very well received and actually works! Beverly H., LCSW, North Beach Counseling Services - Va. Beach, VA My deepest thanks for your contributions to the sanity of parents the world over! What a relief to stumble across a program [1-2-3 Magic] that preserves the dignity of the child, maintains the self-control of both disciplinarian and child and is actually easy to remember at those time when memory is the first thing to go! ...my deepest thanks for your contributions to the sanity of parents the world over! Elisa Medhus, M.D., Author: RAISING SELF-INSPIRED CHILDREN "WOW! What a powerhouse book! I just finished reading All About Attention Deficit Disorder. If I only knew then (during my 14 year teaching career) what I've just learned now, I'm sure I would have been more effective in dealing with my 'hyperactive kids'." Preschool teacher - Naperville, IL "We run a programme for children with behavioural problems and use the 1-2-3 Magic system very successfully. [Dr. Phelan's] enthusiasm is infectious and makes us even more determined to encourage the parents of the children we care for to use 1-2-3 Magic." Miriam Higgins, Preschool Administrator - Gillingham Kent, England "We benefit greatly from your experience, empathy and sense of humor in dealing with family relationships." Mary H., Special Librarian, Teen CARE Network "The teenage years are such a frustrating time in the life of parents! (How well I know)... Not only was the content excellent and practical, but your style was very entertaining and easy to attend." Kathleen Dulle, Grant Wood Area Education Agency - Cedar Rapids, IA "Your information is clear and accurate, and enjoyable...My husband, who happens to have ADD, also watched the videotape and gave it his seal of approval. This is by no means easy to come by." Lynne E., Ph.D., Psychoeducational Evaluator - Tucson, AZ "WOW! What a powerhouse book! I just finished reading All About Attention Deficit Disorder. If I only knew then (during my 14 year teaching career) what I've just learned now, I'm sure I would have been more effective in dealing with my 'hyperactive kids'." Preschool Teacher - Naperville, IL. "Once again I commend you for providing the parents of the A.E.R.O. Special Education Cooperative and its member districts with an informative and effective presentation on 1-2-3 Magic. Your audience appears to connect with your style and wit, leaving them with the critical sense of empowerment that seems to be so important for effective child rearing." Jill Wojack, A.E.R.O. Special Education Cooperative - Burbank, IL "[Dr. Phelan's] views of these important relationships encouraged us to evaluate critically our sometimes unwise practices of working productively with our young people. His discussion with us was most timely, very meaningful, and most enjoyable." High School Principal - Glen Ellyn, IL "Your sensitivity and passion for those who struggle with ADD gives hope and affirmation that their quality of life can improve." CHADD Adult Issues Coordinator "Since we incorporated your strategy into our program six years ago, we've been able to provide our parents and teachers with specific guidelines to use when dealing with a child's or a student's unacceptable behavior. We've had great success with 1-2-3 Magic, especially when both parents and teachers apply the method properly and consistently. But, even if the parents fail to be steadfast in adhering to the program, consistent use of it by the teacher still produces results here at school. We just completed our Parent-Teacher conferences, and the feedback from the parents who are using your program has been extremely positive. They are so pleased with the self-discipline skills their children have attained, as well as the self-confidence they feel in being effective, caring parents. We particularly like using 1-2-3 Magic because the beauty of the program lies in the fact that limited, matter-of-fact attention is given to improper behavior and praise and encouragement is given to acceptable behavior. The child begins to realize our goal that it is his/her behavior that is unacceptable, and not the child. Moreover, the child is not rewarded by receiving attention for negative behavior. ...In addition, this approach allows the teacher to reduce the amount of time she has to deal with the child exhibiting undesirable behavior, which helps the other children in the class remain positive about that child, rather that avoiding him/her during socialization activities." Preschool Director - Naperville, IL "Your presentation on Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder was easily understood by professional and lay participants. This condition can create problems in every environment the child is exposed to. So, your information was relative and applicable." Nurse Coordinator, Child Development Programs - Aurora, IL "You come across very warm along with a good sense of humor which communicates equally well to mothers and fathers. Thanks for making these concepts available to practitioners like myself, teachers and parents. These materials are true'Lifesavers!'" Licensed Social Worker - Knoxville, TN TOP OF PAGE
