Positive Parenting in Tuncurry

The Hunter New England Health Lower Mid North Coast Children, Young People and Families Service is running a series of free parenting seminars in July and August 2010.

The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) seminars are a series of presentations for parents of children aged three to 12. The seminars better equip parents to help their children be confident and well adjusted.

Hunter New England Health Children, Young People and Families Counsellor  Rob Gray said parents will learn how to encourage children to develop the skills and competencies they need and to promote their health, personal development and overall wellbeing.   

“The most benefit will be gained from attending all three of the seminars however, if parents able to attend just one or two, they will still take a lot away with them,” Mr Gray said.

“Parents will receive specific advice on ways to encourage respect, developing their children’s self esteem and how to help their children express their feelings appropriately.

“The seminars also help get the best out of the experience of being a parent,” Mr Gray said.
