Parenting CONSULTING Services
Background
With over 40 years as an educator and more than 17 years of experience in parent education, I have been supporting parents to better understand their child's/teenager's behavior by helping them learn to improve their self-regulating skills, learn from their mistakes and make better choices for improved behavior, reducing stress levels for both the child/teenager and the family. I am trained and certified to work with a variety of well-recognized parenting programs, including Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP), Peaceful Parenting and Incredible Years. I'm certified for Levels 2, 3 and 4. as well as Level 2 for Teens of the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). I have been a Triple P practitioner for over 13 years. I am also certified as a Pastoral Counselor to provide assistance to individuals, couples and families.
POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM - TRIPLE P ®
Triple P is an evidence-based, preventive, early intervention program, with over 40 years of scientific research behind it, developed by the psychology department at the University of Queensland, Australia.
Triple P has a theoretical basis in Behavioral Family Intervention, which has strong empirical support as a parenting and family support strategy. The creators of Triple P utilized research in family behavior therapy, applied behavior analysis, developmental research on parenting, and developmental psychopathology when designing the program.
The three goals of Triple P are:
- to improve parent's knowledge, skills, confidence, resourcefulness, and coping skills,
- to encourage a nurturing, safe, non-violent, and low conflict environment for children/teenagers, and
- to promote children/tenager's development in social, emotional, language, intellectual and behavioral areas through positive parenting.
Research shows that 97% of parents who implement the Triple P strategies shared during the program's sessions see improvement in their child's/teenager's behavior.
Triple P Seminars
A 3-Seminar Series is offered to schools, school districts companies and individuals, providing strategies to help parents better deal with their child/teenager's behavior. Each Seminar is 2 hours long, including time for Q&A. The best results come from presenting the 3 Seminars a week apart, giving parents the opportunity to implement the strategies shared to start seeing positive results. The Seminars can be offered as live webinars via Zoom or live in-person, provided all state, county, district, school or company recommended health safety measures are followed, when required. The Seminars can be presented in English or Spanish. A certificate of completion is provided at the end of the Seminar Series.
