Behaviour management support

Helping kids to manage their behaviour is a big responsibility for parents...but it’s not always easy.

Kids First’s professional children’s health and education team has years of experience in helping families to develop positive parenting strategies that build kids’ resilience and enhance their ability to deal with the ups and downs of life. 

We support parents and carers on both an individual and small group basis.

We provide advice and practical tips that promote kids’ ability to behave appropriately, cooperate and manage their emotions.

And we're parents ourselves...so while we wish that kids came with an instruction manual, we completely understand that sometimes, things are not as simple as they seem!!

• help build your child's emotional maturity
• reduce conflict 
• build closer relationships with your kids
• enhance your child's ability to make positive choices in adolescence

...1-2-3 Magic and Engaging Adolescents are for you!

Parent feedback

Here's what one family recently told us about the difference Kids First's 1-2-3 Magic program for parents made to their family.

“1-2-3 Magic was the best thing we have done for our kids in years. Thanks for such a practical program. In just 3 weeks, we have not only increased our understanding of our children’s behaviour, but also received advice and tips that have helped us to make better parenting decisions. We have been amazed at the difference 1-2-3 Magic techniques have made in our house and the positive impact that simple changes have had on our children. We now have a calmer, more loving family and will be recommending Kids First’s 123 Magic course to all of our friends.. “
