Triple P is the parenting program that helps make raising kids easier. It gives you tips and ideas to help raise happy and confident kids; see more of the behaviours you like and less of the ones you don’t; and have better relationships with your family. Children thrive when they are raised in a nurturing environment. The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program gives Mums, Dads and Carers ideas and strategies to help their child develop the skills and behaviours they need for a healthy childhood. Triple P is one of the world’s most effective parenting programs. It is an Australian Program developed by Clinical Psychologist Professor Matt Sanders and his colleagues at the University of Queensland, Triple P has been tested with thousands of families through ongoing research over more than 30 years!
The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is available to parents and carers of children in Western Australia, thanks to the Department of Education, Child and Adolescent Health Service, WA Country Health Service, and the Department of Communities. Private providers also deliver Triple P. Free face-to-face Triple P Seminars are being offered in various locations, and a range of seminars are available live online. Unfortunately, copyright restrictions and the interactive nature with parents sharing personal information prohibit recordings of the sessions to be shared and the sessions have to be attended in person or viewed live.
Triple P doesn’t tell people how to parent. Rather, it offers simple and practical strategies that parents can adapt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs. The benefits can be dramatic and long-lasting. Triple P is designed to give parents the skills they need to raise confident, healthy children and to build stronger family relationships. Research has shown beneficial impacts across different cultures, socio-economic groups and in many different family structures.
In times of uncertainty, it’s important now more than ever to support your family’s wellbeing.
Our School Psychologist delivered 4 seminars across 2023. We had a fantastic attendance with over 94 attendees across both the Junior Seminar Series (3 parts) and the Fearless: Managing Anxiety Seminar! There were so many positive comments from parents that attended and we would encourage all families to participate in these seminars if they have the opportunity. Unfortunately time demands in 2024 mean that we don’t have any in-person sessions at Bull Creek scheduled this year.
Stand-a-lone single Triple P Seminars and Discussion Groups are also available covering a range of topics. Child and Parent Centres are offering a range of free online workshops for families which we have outlined below. To register for any of these sessions, follow this link! Registration with a valid email address is essential to attend and registrations close 24 hours before each of the scheduleded workshop.
| Dates and times | Workshop/Seminar Information |
| Tuesday 30th July 8pm – 10pm |
Expressing feelings without aggression (pre-schoolers) All children get upset and fight sometimes. This can happen because they are still learning how to manage their emotions, get along with others, and solve problems calmly. In this session, we will talk about responding to your child’s frustration and anger and suggest ideas that will help them express themselves in non-hurtful ways |
| Tuesday 6th August 7pm – 9pm |
Making and keeping friends (10-16 years) Peer relationships become increasingly important during the teenage years, and parents may find it difficult to navigate and adjust to these changes in relationships. This session will provide suggestions on how to support your child to make friends, encourage positive relationships with peers, set appropriate boundaries and deal with challenges that may arise. |
| Tuesday 13th August 7pm – 9pm |
Raising competent teenagers (10-16 years) A challenge for parents is knowing how to encourage your teen to make the most of their time at school. This session will provide some ideas on how to help teens develop the skills they need to become competent young adults. We will cover six key ingredients: developing self-discipline, being a good problem solver, establishing routines, getting involved in school activities, following school rules and having supportive friends. |
| Tuesday 20th August 8pm – 10pm |
The power of positive parenting (under 12 years) Children of all ages need a safe, secure and loving environment to do well. This seminar will discuss children’s behaviour, how to create a safe, interesting and positive learning environment, how to use assertive discipline, and taking care of yourself as a parent. |
| Tuesday 27th August 8pm – 10pm |
Promoting self-esteem (pre-schoolers, primary schoolers and teens) As children grow up they form views of themselves as a person, their value as an individual and how good they are at doing things. This view of their self-worth is called self-esteem. This session will help you encourage your child to be confident and develop healthy self-esteem. |
| Tuesday 3rd September 8pm – 10pm |
Learning to separate (toddlers and pre-schoolers) All children have to learn to cope with temporary separations from their parents. Shyness around new people and anxiety about separation from parents is common in toddlers and pre-schoolers. This session will help you teach your child to be comfortable around others and calmly separate from you, into the care of another trusted adult/caregiver. |
| Tuesday 10th September 7pm – 9.30pm |
Fear-Less: Supporting children with anxiety (6-14 years) Everyone feels anxious at times, even children and teenagers. But anxiety may cause distress and get in the way of life. This seminar will help parents to understand how anxiety works, how to manage your child’s anxiety effectively and teach your child new coping skills. |
| Tuesday 17th September 8pm – 10pm |
Learning to use the toilet (toddlers and pre-schoolers) Teaching children to use the toilet independently can be challenging for parents. This workshop will provide tips on when your child may be ready, the skills needed to use the toilet, and some common behavioural issues related to using the toilet. This workshop is suitable for parents of children with neurotypical development and does not address any medical problems related to using the toilet. |
