1-2-3 Magic A whole school approach to behaviour management. A behaviour strategy introduced by Thomas Phelan.

Children are not mini adults! They are not born reasonable and unselfish; They are smaller; They are not as intelligent as adults; They have less skills; They are less responsible. They need to be taught how to behave.

Two big mistakes Emotion Too much talking Positive feelings should be shared with the child; Negative feelings should not be shared with the child. Words often make no impact at all; Persuasion doesn’t work; Shouting doesn’t work.

Scenario 1 Can I get a drink? Not right now. Why not? Because we are going to finish in 5 minutes and then you will be able to have one. But I want a drink now! I just told you to wait 5 minutes You never let me do anything! Of course I do, you were line monitor last week. But you let Ben have a drink. Do you have to do everything he does, besides he completed his work. I promise I will do my work. I have heard that before – look at you folder it is full of unfinished work. I am going to tell mu mum Fine be my guest.

1-2-3 Magic Consequences or Time Out Time out does not start until child is calm!!!

1-2-3 DoDo not Count; Wait between counts; Follow through every time; Keep counts over a set time period; Wipe the slate clean. Talk ; Allow emotion to show in your voice; Lecture after the time out is served.
