Triple P Programme
Triple P gives parents practical strategies that are really simple to adapt to help them build strong, healthy relationships and allowing them to confidently manage their children’s behaviour and prevent problems developing.
The Triple P programme that Compass Be offers is
- Fear-less Triple P – Help them break free from anxiety
How fearless Triple-P programme can help parents
- Become the best possible role models for children learning to manage their anxiety.
- Support their children to become more emotionally resilient and better able to express and manage uncomfortable or difficult emotions.
- Develop a toolbox of strategies for helping children manage their anxiety more effectively.
- Review and refine how they respond to their child’s anxiety to build their child’s emotional resilience.
Ultimately, the programme supports parents in applying positive parenting and anxiety management skills with more confidence.
Parents are encouraged to use strategies with each child in the family, not just the one about whom they have the most concerns. As a result, the whole family are better able to manage anxiety provoking situations and experience less anxiety.
