Triple P

WHAT IS TRIPLE P?

Triple P is a parenting programme, but it doesn’t tell you how to be a parent. It’s more like a toolbox of ideas. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It’s all about making Triple P work for you.

WHAT DOES TRIPLE P DO?

The three Ps in ‘Triple P’ stand for ‘Positive Parenting Program’ which means your family life is going to be much more enjoyable.

Triple P helps you:

Raise happy, confident children
Manage misbehaviour so everyone in the family enjoys life more
Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
Encourage behaviour you like
Take care of yourself as a parent
Feel confident you’re doing the right thing

Visit the official Triple P website for more information or speak to our in-house Triple P facilitator.

East Dunbartonshire – Supporting Families

Who are the Supporting Families Team and what do they do?

We are a small team based within the Education Early Years’ Service. Our role is to support all families who have children 0-10 years with any parenting queries, tips or strategies – no issue is too big or small.

Why do families access support through the team?

Most parents who access the service have children between 3 and 10 years old. For the majority of time parenting is rewarding but parents tell us sometimes it can be stressful. The Supporting Families Team offers free, informal, confidential support for every parent/carer either on a 1:1 basis or through a parenting group. Families do not need to be involved with any other services.

Parents can self-refer by emailing: parenting@eastdunbarton.gov.uk

Please Note:

If you are a resident of another Local Authority and your child attends an East Dunbartonshire school/nursery you can join a Triple P group (Day or Evening) and for 1:1 support you would access this from the Local Authority you live in.

Rachael

Hi everyone, my name is Rachael and I have worked at Colquhoun park EYC for since I qualified as a practitioner in 2019. I am currently carrying out the role of Acting Senior Early Years Worker and I am grateful to work in such a fantastic centre alongside the best staff team, children and families.

I absolutely relish in having the opportunity to watch our little learners grow and develop and being a part of it is a privilege. I love the power of storytelling, it is my favourite thing to take part in and seeing first-hand the children’s imagination coming to life is truly rewarding. The sheer enjoyment and curiosity that comes from it is amazing.

I recently qualified as Triple P (Positive Parenting Programme) Facilitator and as such have taken on the role of Family Champion in centre. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or I can support you in any way.
