1-2-3 Magic Program
Young House Family Services is dedicated to helping parents build strong, positive relationships with their children and overcome the stress that can take the fun out of parenting. We offer parents an alternate, non-violent way to discipline their children with easy-to-learn parenting solutions that WORK -- for age groups from toddlers through adolescents. This simple, yet powerful approach to disciplining kids has won rave reviews from parents, educators and professionals alike.
Kids are just kids! In addition to being delightful, charming and affectionate, children can also present their adult caretakers with a steady diet of difficult behavior: whining, arguing, teasing, fighting, yelling, tantrums and pouting. For this reason, clinical psychologist, Dr. Thomas W. Phelan designed the
1-2-3 Magic program to bring practical, easy-to-use discipline techniques to families and educators.
Stress from kids or dealing with problems like Attention Deficit Disorder can aggravate depression, anxiety, impulse control disorders, marital discord, substance abuse and a host of other psychological problems in parents. Research shows that the 1-2-3 Magic parenting program can not only improve children's cooperation and reduce misbehavior, but it can also reduce parental stress, hostility and depression.
Renee Plumb, Resource Program, has facilitated the 1-2-3 Magic Program at four different sites during the months of February and March. This workshop is funded by a Caring CommUNITY Empowerment Grant and sponsored by a Target Grant which offers supper, childcare and family incentives. Workshops have ranged in places from preschools, to elementary PTO groups to apartment complexes. Workshops are tailored to the requests of the individual groups. Over 55 parents have attended these workshops.
