Parentshop – 1-2-3 Magic® & Emotion Coaching

A full day workshop for practitioners working with children and families to understand best practice for managing challenging behaviours

Parentshop presents 1-2-3 Magic® & Emotion Coaching

1-2-3 Magic® & Emotion Coaching is based on two underlying perspectives on parenting: first, that children can be taught to respond more flexibly when they are frustrated or upset and second, that parents and carers can be taught easy-to-use skills they can use at particular parenting moments. The professional training includes role-play, group discussion, worksheets and videos.

To become a certified parent educator, you’ll be provided with additional resources needed in order to present to parents. This ensures that our product is only being taught at the highest quality. There are several benefits in becoming certified: Certification is renewed each year at $69 for your first year and $49 thereafter. To remain certified, parent educators are required to complete a refresher every five years. Certification for the year is included in the refresher price.

Lesson Framework:
