Triple P Seminar Series
Triple P seminar series is a 3 part session designed to help parents and caregivers build confidence one step at a time.

Session 1: Positive Parenting for Children with a Disability
Date: August 18, 2026 | Time: 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., plus Q&A | Presenter: Trish Kinton
Feeling the end-of-summer burnout is common, and the transition back to school routines can bring its own set of challenges. This session kicks off the series with practical strategies to help families finish the summer strong and ease into the school year.
You will learn how to:
- Rebuild structure and routines
- Create a calm, positive home environment during busy transitions
- Manage challenging behaviour with simple, effective strategies
- Set realistic expectations while everyone adjusts
- Take care of your own wellbeing
This session is grounded in the core principles of positive parenting and is designed to help families feel more confident supporting their child through change, whether that is bedtime routines, morning stress, or back-to-school emotions.
Session 2: Helping Your Child Reach Their Potential
Date: September 22, 2026 | Time: 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., plus Q&A | Presenter: Trish Kinton

Session 3: Changing Problem Behaviour into Positive Behaviour
Date: September 29, 2026 | Time: 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., plus Q&A | Presenter: Trish Kinton
This session is designed to help families better understand and respond to a child’s challenging behaviour in a calm, constructive, and effective way. Many families are unsure how to handle behaviour in ways that reduce the issue in the moment and also help their child learn what to do instead. This seminar provides clear, practical guidance to do just that.
You will learn how to:
- Identify and track specific behaviours to better understand patterns
- Recognize the reasons behind why behaviours are happening
- Adjust situations and triggers that may lead to challenges
- Teach and encourage positive alternative behaviours
- Reduce unintentional reinforcement of problem behaviours
- Put together and follow a simple, practical behaviour support plan
This session focuses on helping families feel more confident, prepared, and supported when responding to everyday challenges, with tools that are realistic to use at home and support long-term positive change.
