The three 2-h sessions of the EC group program was based on
the Power Point presentation of the Emotion Coaching Parenting
Program 2011 (Hawton & Martin, 2011), which includes the
topics that are covered in the 1-2-3 Magic DVDs, a 23-min
excerpt from Booth and Phelan's (2004a) DVD 1-2-3 Magic:
Managing Difficult Behavior in children 2-12, and also a 75-min
emotion-coaching component that encourages participants to
not dismiss children's emotions but to coach children in emotion
self-regulation
