Awesome Book/A must have

I am the parent of an adopted ADHD/Explosive child....this works wonders for him...and us!! It is so basic that any parent can use it very effectively!!I have recommended it to soooo many other adoptive/foster and other parents!! I recommend this book as one that is a must on anyone's shelf.

Book has great ideas on parenting difficult children

I read 1 2 3 magic. I enjoyed that book and the ideas the author had. I was anxious to read another book from this author. This book had alternatives to counting. I found this book helpful.
