Helps so much!

If you are a struggling parent this is the book for you. I have 5 children ranging from 8 down to 2 years old and they all were able to grasp the 1,2,3 strategy and it has changed our household for the better!

test

I found this book when I asked a family friend that has four amazing teenagers how they raised such great kids. They said they read this book when the first child was very young and continued its teachings with all the kids

Amazing listen.

Will definitely buy the hard copy and will be visiting the website on a regular basis. I mean 3 boys will do that to you. I immediately started trying the counting and wow the surprise. I didn’t have to finish at all and things got done, my older son would then come to me and hug me and tell me he loves me even when he didn’t get his way. Amazing book.
