Im doing the Magic 1-2-3 program at the moment. It is for children 2years +.
For some reason that I cant quite identify it doesnt sit quite right with me. Maybe because its a punishment and rewards system, maybe because it centres around time out. Not sure. But last session got me patricularly offside when it came to the acts of defiance (cant remember the exact wording but that's essentially what they were).
In particular "urinating and vomiting". Personally I dont see these as acts of defiance but signs of significant distress. I questioned the facilitator and she was a bit defensive and adament that some children do use these as tactics to get thier way.
Urinating I can kind of see how they might, it is to an extent, controllable. But vomiting? I just cannot imagine a child intentionally making themselves sick.

Does anyones children use urinating or vomiting to get thier own way?

What is your take on this?

Everyone Ive spoken to about it says how great this program is. I cant be the only one feeling uncomfortable with it...
