- description
- Self-directed Triple P workbook to be completed over 10 weeks. Over the course of the workbook parents will think about the changes they would like to make to their child's behaviour. They are taught strategies to enhance their relationship with their child, and promote desirable behaviours. They learn about options for managing problem behaviours and have the opportunity to decide if they would like to use any of these approaches with their child in a clear and consistent way. Parents have practice period to use the approaches they have learnt in weeks 1-3. By the end of week 6 they will have had practice in using their chosen positive parenting approaches, learnt to set goals and monitor their own behaviour when using these strategies. The final weeks aim to help parents identify times when the strategies may not be working and provide survival tips on what to do at these times.
