TRIPLE P PARENTING PROGRAM
The Victorian State Government has just made available the Triple P parenting program free to all Victorian families. Triple P is a parenting program that is research backed and evidence based, but it doesn't tell you how to be a parent. It's more like a toolbox of ideas. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It's all about making Triple P work for you.
WHAT DOES TRIPLE P DO?
The three Ps in ‘Triple P’ stand for ‘Positive Parenting Program’ which means your family life is going to be much more enjoyable.
Triple P helps you:
· Raise happy, confident kids
· Manage misbehaviour so everyone in the family enjoys life more
· Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
· Encourage behaviour you like
· Take care of yourself as a parent
· Feel confident you’re doing the right thing
HOW DO YOU DO TRIPLE P’S POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM?
You can do Triple P anywhere, anytime—24/7 with the online programs. Triple P Online is for parents of toddlers to tweens (under 12 years), and Teen Triple P Online is for parents of pre-teens and teenagers (10-16 years).
