My mom counted. My brothers and I took it as permission to continue the undesired behavior until the next to last number. The same thing is true with repeated warnings for bad behavior. The child gets conditioned that Mom doesn't mean it the first few times she says it. I think it "1 2 3 Magic" is an improvement for some parents because it forces them to ...

Have you just wandering around your local library? I've found quite a few books in ours with some pictures mixed with more complex text. Greek mythology works well - the stories are reasonably complex. We also used our library to get our daughter out of her comfort zone (in terms of themes). If she was stuck on Hardy Boys for too long, we'd try ...

We have a 19 month old son so we're in prime picture book buying mode at the moment! We find that for our son to fall in love with a book, it has to meet at least one (and preferably both) of these two criteria: A lot of action to look at; and Pictures of things that he's recently learned (whether it's a new word or a new activity). I'll give two ...

Great question. This is not my area of expertise, but I contacted someone through my network that specializes in gifted and talented children and this is what she said: Some of my best friends are books by Halsted is a good book for the parents to have on their shelf. The parents can also go to shop.scholastic.com and look at books by reading level. I ...

Often if you go to the websites of her favourite characters websites (Peppa pig, for example) you'll find things to print for colouring in ("things to do" or "activities" normally). Another approach you may want to consider is something that can be reset, for example: 1) White-board 2) Blackboard 3) A reusable colouring book like ReColoritz

I am not familiar with the book, however, in therapy, I use a 1-2-3 count with a bit of a twist. I state the desired behavior. If no appropriate response, I begin counting - 1. I restate the desired behavior. If no indication of change, I ask, Do you need help? Then add - 2. When I say 3, I provide immediate even sudden hand over assist to get the job done. ...

One quick idea that comes to mind is all the line-art or black-and-white clip art in your computer's office suite. If you have MS Office then there is a huge library of clip art, and even more available online. You could select a bunch of suitable images and print them out. If you do this, do a quick calculation on printing costs first, because it might ...

You can search Google Images or bing images for a character of her choice with keywords like coloring pages and let her select from the thumbnails which image to print. In Google Images selecting for black and white images can save you the need for additional keywords. The sites that come up in the search often have a collection of coloring pages.

I watch with my kids sitting in my lap. When it's too scary, they shiver and get extremely tense. So far, we haven't had any issues if we stop after the first scene with that reaction. After a few times, we pretty much know their limits beforehand. Also, there's something to be said for making them face their fears every once in a while, especially the ...

When looking for children's Picture Books, One should consider: The Child's Interests (fiction or non-fiction, genre, subject, etc.) How engaging the pictures are For what is the book intended? Will this be for bed-time? Self-reading corner? Is the purpose an educational one or purely fun (Is there a difference in your mind)? For books like bedtime ...

Suggest you take the kids to the library every week and check a few books out (spend some time there too). Soon you will see the ones that they really like. Create a list. Check them out again in 2 months, and if they still really like them, then go to amazon.com. Even as an adult, books really appeal to me, but I realize that I do not have enough time ...

Challenges are: finding a place/time at work to pump washing the bottles and pump equipment freezing/unfreezing milk creating a milk storage for unexpected situations making your baby comfortable with another caregiver(while you are at work) fighting with guilt that your baby is growing while you are working How to deal with it: Ask your manager if ...

I read books that are possible borderlines WITH Alice. We read a lot together anyway, and since I would be there while reading with her, if she gets stuck, I'm there to help OR if the book starts to wander into territory that isn't appropriate I'm there to make a judgement call or at least answer questions if that is needed as well. If my daughter finds ...

I just came across this description on how to create coloring book pages from your own photos: Turn your family photos into fun kids' coloring books for free! This simple tutorial will teach you how to turn any photograph into black and white outlines that you can print out at home. [...] I'm going to talk through this process in a lot of detail, but ...

You will be hard pressed to find scientific studies that answer these questions with any certainty. There are too many variables with child development and much of the constraints that would be necessary to come to conclusive answers have the potential of being harmful to members of the study. There are a number of books that delve into child development, ...

The method works. Only took about a week to work on our children. Our son responded within a few days. Did it on all 3 of our children. After a while we skipped 1 and went straight to 2. When they were older all we had to do was raise up 2 fingers and that's all it took. Very rarely got to 3. Used it until they were 16 or so with no problems. Was great ...

As lgrtitz says, the key is consistency. The parent(s) must by completely dispassionate about announcing the numbers, and they must do it the same way every time. We use it, but it's hard for me to stay "icy" enough all the time. :7) When we do, though -- and my wife is good about it -- it works pretty well. They will respond, but yeah, some of them do ...

The idea is not simply to count, but to basically make it totally no-nonsense. No begging, pleading, berating. Just count and when you hit 3, they get a timeout or loss of privilege. We found this very effective, for what it's worth. They key is applying it consistently, and using it as a substitute for the parents getting all riled up.

I read "1 2 3 Magic" a few years ago. My wife and I have been using a system similar to this with our two children and the results have been mostly positive. We have a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old. The three year old generally listens before we get to the count of three. With the 1.5 year old, it is more hit and miss. She thinks its more fun to yell two ...
