What is Triple P?
Positive Parenting Program® is one of the world’s most effective parenting programs.
It is one of the few based on evidence from ongoing scientific research, with more than 90 trials and studies around the world showing it works -- regardless of a family’s culture, country or situation.
Triple P works by giving parents the skills to raise confident, healthy children and teenagers, and to build stronger family relationships. It also helps parents manage misbehavior and prevent problems occurring in the first place. But it doesn’t tell people how to parent. Rather, it gives them simple and practical strategies they can adapt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs.
Triple P is also different because it is not ‘one size-fits-all’. It’s a system that offers increasing levels of support to meet parents’ different needs. So parents can choose anything from one-off public seminars or self-help books to more detailed group courses or individual sessions.
Triple P is now used in 25 countries including the USA, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Japan, Iran, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands, Curacao, Switzerland and Romania. It has been translated into more than 20 languages.
Level 2 is a brief, 1 or 2-session primary health care intervention providing anticipatory developmental guidance to parents of children with mild behavior difficulties, with the aid of user-friendly parenting tip sheets and videotapes that demonstrate specific parenting strategies.
Level 3, a 4-session primary care intervention, targets children with mild to moderate behavior difficulties and includes active skills training for parents.
