On this page I have listed several books and/or videos, several of which also have good information on behavior modification programs/techniques.   Unless otherwise noted you can purchase all of these through ADD Warehouse. 1-2-3 Magic Thomas W. Phelan, Ph.D. After a short discussion with the child about what the one...two...three mean, you (the adult) just have to count and keep cool. When you begin to count, the child knows which behavior s/he is doing that has caused the counting. This is a small external help to the child to monitor or change the current behavior to a more acceptable one. What I love most about this is that it eliminates so much of the frustration for both parents and children.   There's no more yelling or arguing to be done! We got the video and I have to say, it's actually enjoyable to watch! Borrow the book or video from the library or maybe your child's school. ADD/ADHD Behavior Change Resource Kit Grad L.
