10. Who is Triple P for? It is called a “population approach” in that it has been designed to assist all parents whether they are struggling or not
The strategies are also particularly useful for parents who have very strong willed children
It is meant to offer alternative and more effective methods of discipline than physical discipline, but still providing clear boundaries for children about what is acceptable behaviour and what is not
This programme is targeted for parents of children between the ages of 2 and 12 years.
