About Parenting Classes

Cope’s Triple P parenting classes are for parents or caregivers of children ages 2 years and above. Triple P gives parents simple and practical strategies to help them build strong and healthy relationships, confidently manage their children’s behavior and prevent problems from developing. All classes are free and most are offered in English and Spanish.

Positive parenting is an approach to parenting that gives parents tools and strategies to raise their child in an environment that is safe, loving and predictable. The Triple P program allows parents to decide what is important to them. It doesn’t tell parents how to raise their children, but gives them the confidence and skills to build good relationships with their child, set boundaries and rules, and follow up with consequences that aren’t harmful. Parents set their own goals, identify the changes they would like to see in their child’s behavior and work with the Parent Educator to choose the strategies that will fit in with their family life.
