1. Bedtime Battles

The Challenge: Getting kids to bed can feel like an uphill battle. Whether it’s “just one more story” or constant trips out of bed, bedtime routines can drag on for hours.
Triple P Solution: Triple P helps parents create a predictable bedtime routine that makes transitions easier. Parents also learn ways to handle bedtime struggles, like praising good behavior and making small changes to bedtime routines over time.
Upcoming Workshop: Wednesday, February 19, 2025 from 6:00 - 7:30 at Brecksville Library

2. Dealing with Disobedience

The Challenge: Disobedience, like ignoring instructions or breaking rules, is a common struggle. Kids often push boundaries as they learn independence.
Triple P Solution: Triple P teaches parents how to set clear limits and give instructions in a way that encourages cooperation. It also helps parents develop plans to handle disobedience in a calm and consistent way, fostering respect and teamwork.
Upcoming Workshop: Monday, February 17, 2025 from 7:00 - 8:30pm at Berea Library

3. Managing Fighting and Aggression

The Challenge: Fighting, yelling, or hitting can create stress at home and leave parents feeling frustrated.
Triple P Solution: Triple P shows parents how to teach their kids important skills like sharing, being gentle, and solving problems without fighting. It also helps parents understand why these behaviors happen and create plans to reduce them while encouraging positive interactions.
