I was becoming quite desperate

Dear Noel

I thought I would take this quiet moment to write an email to you and

thank you for the pearls of wisdom you have provided with me in relation

to your good child guide. I was becoming quite desperate before

Christmas, When I read your website and could relate to so many things

(including the dreadful thought of not wanting my son around) I decided

to buy your guide. It has been the absolute best. The 1-2-3 principle

works like a dream. I realised I was offering treats and then taking

them away as soon as he made one mistake - not giving him any incentive

to try at all.

After following your principles life has certainly changed. I have not

triumphed in every area, however, life is looking brighter and I thank

you for that.
