November 2017
Triple P is the parenting program that helps make raising kids (and teenagers) easier. It gives parents simple tips to help manage the big and small problems of family life! Problems like toddler tantrums or teenage rebellion. Self-esteem issues. Bedtime battles. Disobedi-ence. Aggression. Triple P can help you deal with them all – and more! And Triple P is one of the few parenting programs in the world with evidence to show it works for most families. The Government of Prince Edward Island and community partners are taking the guess-work out of parenting, by supporting parents and caregivers throughout the province by offering the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program® for free in most locations. Parents and caregivers in Prince Edward Island have access to these free Triple P pro-grams.Triple P is one of the few parenting programs in the world based on evidence and research about what works. There are more than 35 years of ongoing international research behind Triple P, and the body of scientific evidence just keeps growing. There are now more than 280 evaluation papers, including 146 randomized con-trolled trials, that show Triple P can work for most families – across different cultures, socio-economic groups and in many different
family structures.

Let children and teenagers cope with some

Daniel Chorney says feeling anxious is part of everyday life
While avoiding the things that may be causing your child or teenager anxiety may seem like a good idea, P.E.I. psychologist Daniel Chorney says it is on-ly a short-term solution. "Long term, it makes anxiety far worse." Chorney, who will be speaking to P.E.I. teachers about the issue during a meeting, de-scribed anxiety as the feeling you have in your brain and body when you're anticipating a negative event. "We all sort of feel that [in] everyday situations but when you have an anxiety disorder, that warning system is sort of firing way too intensely and you start over-worrying about everyday kind of situa-tions," he said. Chorney said when children and teenagers experience that, teachers and parents shouldn't allow them to "default out."
Learn to cope "It's more about, can we teach you some ways to recognize anxiety, under-stand that it's normal and adaptive, understand how to cope with it different-ly and understand the more you face things that make you anxious, the less anxious you feel about them in the future," he said. And Chorney said chil-dren and teenagers are not experiencing anxiety disorder more now than in years past. The issue now is the lack of ability for people to cope with daily stressors. "Feeling overwhelmed or feeling like they can't cope with day to day situations in life, that is on a huge uprise but anxiety itself, the states of anxiety have not increased." Chroney said if adults keep stepping in and do-ing things for children and teens, the less ability they will feel they have to do it on their own. “We take away their chance to fail, we take away their chance to try, we take away their chance to learn that bad feelings come and go."
