Seeking Feedback on Behavior Program

I have also had great success with the 1-2-3 Magic program, the author is Dr. Thomas Phelan, you can probably check it out at your local library. It works amazingly well in a short amount of time! Good luck!

Look in your public library or if you have a colllege (especially a teaching college) near by, check their library.

As the mother of an 8 year old "special" child who has spent 15 days in the local mental facility for stabilization, I would recommend 1-2-3 Magic.. It works for all ages, and teaches you alot about what discipline SHOULD NOT be.. hope this helps.

Look into play therapy, I don't know exactly what your child is going through, but I do know that it has helped my son a lot with a difficult move, and his father going to Iraq. I have heard that it works very well with children with ADD, ADHD, and Autism as well. Our county schools in my area have a scholarship program that pays for the play therapy, and I think some insurances cover it as well. The reason I mention it is because my son was very angry and would scream, yell, throw tantrums, and try to run away. It helped his behavior a lot. :)

I wouldn't bother buying a system. Just read what you can on the web and print out whatever free charts, etc.
