1-2-3 Magic

The final 1-2-3 Magic behaviour management program ( for parents with children aged 2-12 years) for 2013 is being held in Bacchus Marsh on August 24. The program assists parents with strategies to deal with difficult behaviours, looks at positive reinforcement, and how to get children doing what we would like them to do. If you are dealing with tantrums, refusal, whining, agressive behaviour or any other behaviours you would like to nip in the bud, this program might be for you.

If you are interested you can call Moorabool Shire Council on 5366 7100.
