Positive parenting is simply an approach to parenting that gives parents tools and strategies to raise their child in an environment that is safe, loving and predictable. Triple P’s positive parenting allows parents to decide what is important to them. It does not tell parents how to raise their children, but gives them the confidence and skills to build good relationships with their child or teenager, set boundaries and rules, and follow up with consequences that are not harmful. Read more about what Triple P is.
To suit busy lifestyles, Triple P is also making programmes available as interactive, online courses with videos, worksheets, tips and activities. Do your programme anytime, anywhere, from any device, and track your progress, too.

You'd never get behind the wheel of a car without a few lessons, yet most of us raise our kids without knowing what works best. We choose bits and pieces we've learnt from our parents and friends, or picked up on Google. But Professor Matt Sanders, the clinical psychologist whose research forms the basis of Triple P, believes parenting is the most important job in the world. After decades of working with families all over the globe, he says parents everywhere have similar goals: healthy, happy children and a little less stress! And it's a relief to get a few tips to make those goals happen more quickly and easily.
The research home base of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program® is in Australia, at the University of Queensland’s Parenting and Family Support Centre. Foundation Director Professor Matt Sanders is regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on parenting. Today, there are hundreds of researchers in universities and institutions worldwide, contributing findings that inform the development of new Triple P programmes. Their work means Triple P has the largest evidence base of any parenting programme in the world.
Because we offer a parenting programme that's been scientifically proven to work, it's very important to give parents the kind of information that will make a real difference. Our research shows that parents get the best results when they do a guided programme that is either delivered by a provider, or done methodically through an online programme. Many other websites can offer quick tips, but that kind of advice is unlikely to work in the long term. What we can offer you is a ‘taste’ of Triple P with our hot parenting topics. Reading about Triple P and understanding the thinking behind it helps explain why it's worth putting in time in to do a course — to give every child the very best start in life, and to help make parents' lives better too, not just for a day or so but for years to come.
It is great if both parents can do Triple P, although it's not essential. Triple P is also used very successfully by single parents, and even by separated couples who are co-parenting. (Each person uses their own access code.) When both parents do the course, they see the benefits of working as a team to change their child’s or teenager’s behaviour. It can also help you communicate better about parenting, argue and disagree less, and support each other more.
The principles of Triple P apply to anyone who cares for children. Grandparents and other caregivers often attend Triple P programmes. Aunties and uncles, nannies, and others who care for your child can do it too!
