This companion workbook to 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents takes parents carefully through the program to immediately manage troublesome behavior with reason, patience, and Christian compassion. This successful, straightforward program has guided parents through the difficult task of raising competent and happy children for more than 20 years and shows mothers and fathers how to achieve three crucial parenting objectives--controlling obnoxious behavior, encouraging good behavior, and strengthening the parent-child relationship. Special exercises and biblical references highlight the Christian point of view, and each workbook chapter contains a summary, questions about the content, case studies, troubleshooting exercises, and wrap-up bullets. In addition to providing material for parents, this guide includes curricula and activities for group leaders, teachers, and pastors as well as tactics for addressing the challenges that commonly arise when trainers teach the method in group environments. Extensive reference and resource sections also suggest further research and follow-up study.
