January is Positive Parenting Awareness Month! Here are some tips and information about the Triple P Parenting Program offered in Alpine County! Children may express their emotions in different ways than adults. This year has been a scary and different year for so many families. Your child might be expressing this through anger, clinginess, sadness, outbursts, and other abnormal behaviors for your child. Validate your child's feelings and discuss appropriate ways to express them. If your child struggles with tasks such as running errands, try practicing the outing first. This will help your child know what to expect on outings! Tracking your child’s problem behaviors can help you identify certain times of day or activities that cause your child to act out. This can help you recognize different tools from your toolbox to use to help your child modify their behaviors and be more successful. Triple P does not tell you how to be a parent. It is more like a toolbox of ideas like the ones above. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It is all about making Triple P work for you! With Triple P, any parent can participate. There is no need to qualify for any other Live Violence Free program or service. With Triple P, your sessions can be in office or virtual, and each session is individually scheduled with your practitioner. Get started with Triple P today!
