Six Murgon and Cherbourg residents have successfully graduated from a Triple P parenting program organised by Barambah PaCE.
The workshops, which are designed to instil positive behaviour, were run by Michell, a facilitator from the University of Queensland,
She believes in the program because it has worked for her (see box, below).
And now some Cherbourg and Murgon parents have discovered that the program works, too.
The participants have all noticed a difference in the relationship they are having with their children since doing the first part of the workshops a little over a month ago.
Michell said the program was about being “positive and consistent”.
“Children thrive off the positive,” she said.
“It takes work but I believe those that do the program could make an immeasurable difference to their happiness and those of their children.”
Barambah PaCE coordinator Marcus Priaulx said he believed there wasn’t a parent alive that wouldn’t be able to take away at least one useful tip from the workshops to strengthen the bond they had with their children.
“You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by spending a few hours with Michell and other parents to talk about tips that limit conflict and increase the happiness you have with your children,” he said.
Cherbourg residents wanting to take part in future Triple P workshops can contact Barambah PaCE on (07) 4168-2330 or by email, or visit the Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council training rooms office.
