“1-2-3 Magic for Christian
Parents is a wonderful,
effective tool for parents who
want to set firm, loving
boundaries for their kids. The
method is simple and easy to
remember, a feature that comes
in handy when children launch a
surprise temper tantrum. I love
how this plan is based on
biblical principles- and best of
all, it works!”

Chris Webb,
counselor and associate pastor at First
Baptist Church, Jackson has teamed up with
author Dr. Thomas Phelan to write a new
parenting resource entitled 1-2-3 Magic
for Christian Parents.
1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents
is full of scripture references that support
the biblical basis for the technique so
remarkably simple and effective that parents
can begin using it immediately with
astounding results. The book teaches
effective parenting through:
1. Controlling obnoxious behavior
2. Encouraging good behavior
3. Strengthening their relationships with
their children
Parents will also
learn the two most important rules they need
to follow while disciplining young children:
No Talking and No Emotion. The book provides
specific instructions for dealing with the
most common parenting landmines: tantrums,
bedtime issues and nighttime waking, sibling
rivalry, homework, misbehavior in public and
the six kinds of testing and manipulation.
Here’s what a few people
have to say about the book:
"My husband and I have two daughters now,
age 3 and age 9 months. Right after we moved
my oldest daughter started having behavior
problems. This went on for several months
and I truly did not know what to do. I
prayed and prayed for wisdom and one day
right after I finished begging God for
wisdom, a friend called me and told me about
your book, 1,2,3 Magic for Christian
Parents. She then sent me a copy of it, and
I just want you to know that it really does
work like "magic" and the Lord is using it
to help parents like me. We have been using
the strategies you wrote about for about 3
months and our daughter has turned into a
precious child (that we enjoy being around)
again."

"This book should be put in the hands of
every parent. Not only do Phelan and Webb
describe sound principles for behavior
management of children, they complement
those principles with Christian theology,
providing the strong foundation for
childrearing that parents need. The
illustrations are helpful and explanatory,
and the book makes sense… something that
cannot always be said for many books on
behavior management."
