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.
Triple P has been shown to help reduce children’s problem behavior and also reduce their emotional problems. It also helps parents feel less stressed, angry and depressed. Triple P helps parents:
Raise happy, confident kids
Manage misbehavior so everyone in the family enjoys life more
Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
Encourage desired behavior
Take care of themselves
Feel confident they are doing the right thing
There are a variety of different classes being offered depending on your family’s needs, and children’s age. Learn more about each class to find out which one is right for you and your family. If you have any questions please reach out to hello@copefamilycenter.org.
Cope’s Triple P-Positive Parenting Program is made possible by funding from the County of Napa, Napa Valley Vintners, and support from the community.
