I haven't found much on this.
Step 1: Control Obnoxious Behavior. Learn a simple technique to get your kids to STOP doing what you don't want them to do (whining, arguing, tantrums, sibling rivalry, etc.).
Step 2: Encourage Good Behavior. Learn several effective methods to get your kids to START doing what you do want them to do (cleaning rooms, going to bed, homework, etc.).
Step 3: Strengthen Relationships. Learn powerful techniques that reinforce your bond with your children. You will also learn how to manage the Six Kinds of Testing and Manipulation, how to handle misbehavior in public and how to avoid the Talk-Persuade-Argue-Yell-Hit Syndrome.
I read the book. Basically, when your child behaves in a way you don't like you start counting "That's 1" if they don't stop you continue "That's 2" and once you say "That's 3" you take them to their room for time out. The author advocates locking them in their room if they don't stay. My understanding of the specific technique is that it doesn't allow much for actual teaching and allowing the child to learn. You just count and if the child doesn't comply they get punished.
