Kingaroy Child Health will be offering three free seminars next month on “positive parenting”.
The Triple P seminar series consists of three presentations for parents with children aged up to 12 years.
The seminars aim to provide an overview and introduction to positive parenting.
Parents are invited to attend all three sessions or can attend a single session.
- Seminar 1 – The Power of Positive Parenting will introduce parents to the five core principles of positive parenting – ensuring a safe, engaging environment for children; creating a positive learning environment; using assertive discipline; having realistic expectations; and taking care of yourself as a parent.
- Seminar 2 – Raising Confident, Competent Children will show parents how they can use positive parenting to teach children important values and skills, including respect, co-operation, getting on with others, learning to be independent, learning to develop healthy self-esteem and learning to become good problem solvers.
- Seminar 3 – Raising Resilient Children will focus on helping children recognise and accept feelings; express their feelings appropriately, build positive feelings, deal with negative feelings, develop coping skills, and deal with upsetting or stressful life events.
The seminars will be held from 9:30am to 11:00am in the Dental and Community Health Building in Youngman Street (behind Kingaroy Hospital) on May 9, 16 and 23.
Childcare is not available.
