Parenting programs have considerable potential to improve the mental health and well-being of children, improve family relationships, and benefit the community at large. However, traditional clinical models of service delivery reach relatively few parents. A public health approach is needed to ensure that more parents benefit and that a societal-level impact is achieved. The Triple P-Positive Parenting Program is a comprehensive, multilevel system of parenting intervention that combines within a single intervention universal and more targeted interventions for high-risk children and their parents. With Triple P, the overarching goal is to enhance the knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents at a whole-of-population level and, in turn, to reduce the prevalence rates of behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. The distinguishing features of the intervention and variables that influence its effective implementation are discussed. Self-regulation is a unifying concept that is applied throughout the entire system (e.g., to interactions between children, parents, service providers, and agencies involved in delivering the intervention). Challenges and future directions for the development of public health approaches to parenting are discussed.

“…This can lead to misinterpretations, premature judgments, and maladaptive responses in our interactions with others. In work with mothers who abuse children, for example, my colleagues and I have found that their schema regarding children-what they believe children are capable of, how they believe children think, and how they expect children to relate to parents-are overly rigid and infuse children with adultlike capabilities and motivation (Azar, 1989a;Azar & Rohrbeck, 1986). These schemas prime parents to assign blame too readily to children, even when cues do not indicate it is warranted (i.e., they indicate situational causes; Azar, 1989b) and to react with negative affect (e.g., frustration, anger), coercive parenting, and, ultimately, to abuse.…”

“…As indicated earlier, there is evidence that parents who are at risk of abusing their children are more likely to have unrealistic expectations of children's capabilities (Azar and Rohrbeck, 1986). Developmentally appropriate expectations are taught in the context of parents' specific expectations concerning difficult and prosocial behaviours rather than through the more traditional age and stages approach to teaching about child development.…”

The Triple P‐Positive Parenting Programme: a universal population‐level approach to the prevention of child abuse

The Triple P-Positive Parenting Programme is described as an example of an evidence-based universal parenting initiative that provides a tiered continuum of interventions of increasing strength but narrowing reach in an effort to make parenting programmes more accessible to parents. Interventions within the system range from the use of the media and brief messages to intensive family interventions for parents where parenting problems are complicated by multiple additional sources of family adversity. Several issues concerning the role of training and organizational factors that influence the successful uptake and implementation of the programme are discussed.Key Words: positive parenting; prevention; child abuse; population approach In the prevention of child abuse, it is important to reorient our focus from treatment outcomes to develop and evaluate a population perspective to family problems. We suggest that a populationbased strategy to enhance parental competence, prevent dysfunctional parenting practices, change parental attributions and promote teamwork between partners would reduce family risk factors associated with child maltreatment. For this to be effective, several criteria need to be met (Taylor, 1999;: knowledge of the prevalence and incidence of child outcomes being targeted; knowledge of the prevalence and incidence of family risk factors; knowledge that changing specific family risk and protective factors leads to a reduction in the incidence and prevalence of the target problem; use of effective family interventions; family interventions must be culturally appropriate; and interventions need to be widely available.
