What people are saying?
What a relief to come across a program that preserves the dignity of the child, maintains the self control of both the parent and the child and is actually easy to remember when memory is the first thing to go!
I realized quickly that the 1-2-3 Magic can be a magnificent preventative measure that any parent can use to avoid raising a child, who later down the line, needs excessive discipline or grows out of control.

The DAD Factor
The importance of father-child relationships
For parents and professionals
Based on James’ Masters reseach, this program explores than transitions in the lives and expectations of fathers, and the current crisis of fatherlessness in western-society. With your attention grabbed by this serious dilemma, James outlines the scientific evidence for the value of fathers and father figures in child development, in particular;
- Dad’s have their own unique style of parenting, that have discernable effects on the social and emotional development of children.
Together you will explore with James the ways to help dad’s be more involved in the parenting of children, and to help dad’s feel more empowered to be an active part of childrearing.
