Often, situations arise in which children develop difficult ways of behaviour. Developing ideas early with outside support on how to train new behaviour helps the child in these situations. Uta Mette and Linda Köster draw on approaches from behavioural, play and hypnotherapy for this training with the child.

Psychological first aid

Threatening experiences – such as accidents or the death of a relative – can lead to permanent psychological damage, both in children directly affected as well as children witnessing the process. Psychological first aid is helpful for the child to process this experience as part of his or her story. We offer short-term first aid, if your child describes nightmares, for example, or reacts in panic to certain situations to which he or she didn’t react strongly before the incident. If necessary, we can assist by initiating additional steps.

ONLINE TRAINING for custodians

The caregivers are supported in the process of reflecting on their role and acquiring parental skills that make it easier to deal with challenging behaviour, for example. Triple P Online helps custodians to prepare for the future, regardless of whether they are already experiencing difficulties or not. Answers to questions like: Is the behaviour normal for his/her age? Should my child need to know how to do this already? How do I teach it to him/her? How do we promote a positive way of interacting? How do we regain an affectionate approach towards each another? – are worked out in the training.

The 8 modules can be worked on at any time and on all Internet-enabled devices. The strategies recommended by Triple P are based on an extensive scientific review and have already helped millions of caregivers on a worldwide scale.
