Thriving Kids and Parents School Project

Dear parents/carers, 

 

As part of the Thriving Kids and Parents School Project, you are invited to attend three highly relevant Triple P – Positive Parenting seminars from one of the most effective evidence-based programs in the world, FREE of charge. These interactive seminars will be delivered to parents/carers from your school via a video conferencing platform.

 

The three interconnected seminars will provide you with a toolkit of practical strategies to help your child thrive. These strategies will help you guide your child’s behaviour, manage everyday worries, and build healthy peer relationships. 

 

Attending all three seminars will provide you with the strategies you need to best support your child’s development.

  • The Power of Positive Parenting (Triple P Seminar) helps you to understand why kids behave the way they do and introduces practical strategies to support your child’s social and emotional development.
  • The Helping Your Child to Manage Anxiety (Fear-Less Triple P Seminar) is designed to equip you with the skills and strategies you need to support your child to manage their emotions and overcome challenges.
  • The Keeping your Child Safe from Bullying (Resilience Triple P Seminar) helps you maintain good communication with your child, develop positive peer relationships, and address conflict and bullying.

How can I get involved?    

  1. Register for the seminar series and complete a short (approximately 15 – 20 minutes) online questionnaire.
  2. Attend the three online seminars in the TKPSP series (90 – 120 minutes each seminar). 
  3. Complete post-seminar series questionnaires 6 weeks and 12 weeks following the registration. Each questionnaire will take around 15 minutes to complete and will help us understand how helpful the strategies have been.  

 

Yes, I want to be involved. What’s next?
