Positive Parenting Program (PPP)

Happier families, better relationships.

Let’s take the guesswork out of parenting.

The Positive Parenting Program (PPP) helps parents in San Diego County find positive solutions to common childhood behavior issues using strategies proven by more than 35 years of research. The curriculum is based on Triple P, an evidenced-based program that has been shown to promote family harmony, reduce parent-child conflict, foster successful peer relationships, and prepare children for successful experiences at school.

Used by millions of families worldwide, PPP is for any parent looking for more effective ways to:

  • Raise happy, confident kids
  • Manage misbehavior so everyone in the family enjoys life more
  • Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
  • Create positive learning environments
  • Encourage behavior you like
  • Take care of yourself as a parent
  • Feel confident you’re doing the right thing

Online parenting support is available in English and Spanish by telephone and video. Learn more below or contact (858) 637-3375 to schedule a session.
