There is no hard-and-fast rule book for raising children but it’s surprising how many familiar parenting problems have very simple solutions.
From infants’ sleeping difficulties to toddler tantrums; fighting at school to a teenager’s defiance; even the struggle to set up healthy eating patterns or a regular homework routine — the issues you face aren’t peculiar to your family. In fact, they’re commonplace. That’s why Triple P can help.
Triple P is one of the few parenting programs in the world that’s based on evidence from clinical research. For more than 30 years, Triple P’s easy-to-understand and practical strategies have been shown to help families in all types of situations.
Parents can choose from tip sheets, books, DVDs, seminars, courses or one-on-one sessions to arm themselves with the tools that can make parenting a little less ‘trial and error’. And because Triple P works in the majority of cases, Triple P has the seal of approval of parents, practitioners and experts internationally.
We look forward to helping you.
Professor Matt Sanders still remembers the hurt and embarrassment on a mother’s face after her 5-year-old son swung a plastic lawn mower at her during a consultation more than 30 years ago.
“The
child was definitely on track for serious behaviour problems and you could
see the major impact on the family,” says Sanders. “The mother
was depressed and the parents fought over how best to handle the
child. It struck me how many parents were raising their kids
in
an information vacuum”.
It was after this and many other similar consultations, that Professor Sanders and colleagues from the Parent and Family Support Centre at the University of Queensland, began the development of an effective parenting program. After decades of rigorous research, Triple P was eventually given a name in 1992, and is now used in 17 countries worldwide.
Professor Matt Sanders is founder of the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program.
“Thank you for giving me other ways to deal with problem behaviour instead of screaming at the kids and getting nowhere.”
“Life will never be the same again, only better!”
“It has helped me to see that not all the problems were my son’s behaviour, but how I dealt with them. The biggest changes came in my own behaviour.”
’Great program – thanks, you saved us!”
“Excellent. Has helped my husband and I to work together with the same treatment for the kids from both of us.”
“The best part was meeting with other people, discussing your problems and finding out about little things you can do – star charts, praise and spending quality time, and I don’t want to leave the group!”
“We didn’t have any major problems. I just wanted some tips and strategies and Triple P was great. So easy to use.”
“Triple P offers straight forward, sensible techniques that have proven to be very effective.”
Professor Fiona Stanley, AC Telethon
Institute for Child Health Research; 2003 Australian of the Year
“My colleagues and I regard Triple P as the world standard of best practice.”
Professor Kurt Hahlweg, Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany
“The program is the best in the world. I recommend Triple P without reservation.”
Professor Patrick McGrath, Dalhousie University, Canada
“There is no question that Triple P has been the bright beacon lighting the way toward worldwide dissemination of empirically-based parent training programs”.
Dr Gerald Patterson World pioneer in evidence-based parenting programs and co-founder of the Oregon Social Learning Center
Everyone has an opinion! With so much conflicting advice and misinformation about, it’s understandable that parents often feel stressed about their capabilities.
Fortunately, Triple P cuts through the confusion and gives you clear and simple strategies to turn problems around and also prevent problems from developing in the first place.
The great thing is that you can choose how you “do” Triple P.
You might like the interactivity and peer support of a group course. Perhaps you’d rather to talk to a Triple P practitioner on an individual basis. You may enjoy a public seminar, or you may prefer to do Triple P at home using the self help resources. It’s up to you! You choose a Triple P option to suit your needs.
