1-2-3Magic

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.

What is 1,2,3 Magic ??

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.
