Rationale

The rationale for this multi-level strategy is that there are

differing levels of dysfunction and behavioral disturbance in

children, and parents have different needs and preferences

regarding the type, intensity and mode of assistance they may

require This tiered approach is designed to maximize efficiency,

contain costs, avoid waste and over servicing, and to ensure

the program has wide reach in the community

Also, the multi-disciplinary nature of the program involves the

better utilization of the existing professional workforce in the

task of promoting competent parenting

16


17/20

Rationale, cont.

The program targets 5 different developmental periods:

infants, toddlers, preschoolers, primary schoolers and

teenagers

Within each developmental period the reach of the

intervention can vary from being very broad (targeting anentire population) or quite narrow (targeting only high-risk

children)

This flexibility enables practitioners to determine the scope of

the intervention within their own services priorities and

funding

Theoretical Basis of Triple P

Triple P aims to enhance family protective factors and to

reduce risk factors associated with severe behavioral and

emotional problems in children and adolescents

and resourcefulness of parents;

2. Promote nurturing, safe, engaging, non-violent and low

conflict environments for children; and

3. Promote childrens social, emotional, language,

intellectual and behavioral competencies through positive

parenting practices19
