Title: 1-2-3 TRAGIC: Not for everyone!!
Review: With 3 kids in our home, we tried it out....we applied it religiously to every child. Worked like a charm for my pretty normal, mildly ADD middle child. Same for my third child. However, my oldest child who happened to be Bipolar and what his psychiatrist described as 'the most severe case' of ADHD she'd seen in 20 years' practice, was able to foil it every step of the way. If it was 1-2-3 ...he'd laugh and say, yeh, right. Remove additonal privileges, he'd laugh and walk out of the house. Oh, no....does NOT work for every child.And by the way, what is with the sappy sitcom, upper middle class folks they have in the tapes? Come on -- LIFE IS NOT THE COSBY SHOW.Save your money, be more discriminating and VERY VERY careful if you have A VERY DIFFICULT, alphabet soup-diagnosed child. Try "Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach" if you have a child who meets my description.
