Comments· 1-2-3 Magic· Surviving Your Adolescents· All About ADD
"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
"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
"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."

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
"[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
"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!'"

"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
"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
"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
