It’s As Easy As 1-2-3!
A behavioral approach that works, and
without yelling or negotiating!

1. Write down your 3 desires
for your child, behaviors we
want to see
2. Write down your top 3
behavior concerns or issues that
you are currently having,
behaviors we don’t want to see
3. Write down your 3 nonnegotiables
It’s so easy for us to loose our temper and harshly discipline children
out of frustration. This approach helps to eliminate that as it provides
a time of reflection for both the care giver and the child.
Never discipline a child when you
are angry. Even if you need to
allow yourself a few minutes to
get ahold of yourself, that’s better
than allowing anger to drive the
situation.
Who is this program
for?
When and where
can I use it?
The Key to this
program is
consistency!
And
Communication 
Set the stage, i.e. it’s time
to clean up now, come to
the table for dinner, get
your shoes on we have to
leave…what are some of
the things you wrote
down as desired
behaviors?
How does it work?
How does it work?
Some things are
automatic time outs for
example hitting, complete
disrespect, biting…what
were your nonnegotiables?
How does it work?
As our children get older we change things up slightly, for example instead
of an open room time out we send them to their room, or perhaps we take
away desired items or activities. We still follow the easy as 1-2-3!
Approach.
Brining peace
back into our
homes by
being loving
and
consistent 
