Enjoy Your Children Course

Content of the course:

This follows the Triple P ‘Positive Parenting Programme’, a research based approach which helps parents understand how their family works so they can use the things they already think, feel, say and do in new ways. The course covers the use of effective praise and incentives, setting limits and non-violent strategies for managing misbehaviour and dealing with high risk situations.

Triple P helps parents:

• Create a stable, supportive, harmonious family environment
• Teach children the skills they need to get along with others
• Deal positively, consistently and decisively with misbehaviour should it arise
• Encourage desirable behaviour
• Develop realistic expectations of their children and themselves
• Take care of themselves as a parent. 

Parents attend 4 group sessions (each lasting 2.5 hours) followed by 3 individual telephone sessions which take place weekly (each lasting 15-30 minutes). The telephone sessions provide additional support to parents as they put what they have learnt into practice, as well as enabling the programme to be tailored to individual needs. The group meet together again for session 8, which is the final session.

Who can attend?

The course is open to dads, mums, or key carers of 2-12 year olds living in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.

Parents must be willing to commit to all sessions (including the telephone sessions) and have identified at least one aspect of their child’s behaviour (or of their own parenting) that they would like to change or improve upon.
