About the program
The 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching program aims to help parents and carers manage difficult child behaviour with a focus on strategies and techniques that promote positive behaviour; encouragement in developing the child's ability to manage their emotional reactions; and relationship-building.
Program structure
Select from:
- 3 x 2 hour group sessions (maximum 25 participants) conducted weekly
- 3 x 2 hour one-to-one sessions conducted weekly.
Facilitator training
Training is required and typically offered as a one-day course.
Cost
Please contact Parentshop for associated costs.
Evaluation and effectiveness
A single randomised controlled trial was undertaken, showing significant improvement in child behaviour post-implementation and significant improvements for carers and parents.
The program appears to be beneficial as a prevention and early intervention program for preschoolers with externalising and/or internalising difficulties who were at high risk of maltreatment.
