Reflection
“The teacher made the lessons interesting, helping me to remember facts, and understand the lesson better. From primary school to secondary school, there was a lot of change in learning. We had to do
research on our own, instead of being "spoon-fed" in primary school. After every week, I would give my notes to my mom, and she would test me. If I got most of my facts and theories right, I would pass,
that's how I ensured that I had learnt. What I liked about the lessons was that it was interesting, very productive (we would cover a lot in 1 lesson), and our teacher was awesome”

What are Parents Saying?
Triple P Level 2 SeminarsSecondary School
All three seminars were structured reasonably and informative.
The Speaker was able to engage us with humour and some personal stories but remembered that the content of the seminar was key. She was a gifted speaker who was able to captivate our attention.

Triple P Level 3 ConsultationsSecondary School
Both trainers who trained us are experienced andthe tips shared during the program coupled with several examples gave me the confidence to implement their suggestions at home. I ampleased that my daughter responded really well to the enhancements (eg. assertive communication and more realistic expectations) of myparenting.
– Parent, Methodist Girls’ School
I find the recording of my child's behavior particularly useful as it showed the trait of his tantrum outburst and shed light to the reason behind such behavior.By building positive relationship with my child, it reduces the severity of his tantrum. I also realized that I could use the methods that I learnt from the programme on my other child to manage her behaviors.There were times that I forgot and allowed things to get out of control but I was quickly reminded and put what I learnt into place again. - Parent , Woodlands Ring Sec

Triple P Level 3Triple P Level 3 Programme definitely benefited me and my son in dealing with his gaming issues. This Programme is customized to individual needs.My son was addicted to gaming and spent half of the day on his computer every day leaving his homework and revisions to the last minute. Through the Programme, we are able to work with my son in drawing out his schedule, targets to be achieved and the rewards and consequences should he meet/miss the targets. He is also more receptive to our suggestions now and is more motivated whenever we approach him in a positive manner instead of the conventional parenting method. We are supportive of Triple P Parenting and really appreciate our trainer, Jacqueline, for her tips and advice.– Parent, Unity Sec
