Among the first few schools to partner the Ministry of Social and Family Development

Heard of evidence-based parenting programmes (EBP)?

My ex-school is among the first few schools to partner the Ministry of Social and Family Development to offer Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P). The purpose is to provide stronger support for parents who wish to improve their children’s behaviour and reduce parenting stress.

Parents will have the opportunity to participate in three two-hour seminars to enhance their parenting skills, knowledge and confidence.

Seminar 1 – Positive Parenting

Seminar 2 – Raising Confident and Competent Children

Seminar 3 – Raising Resilient Children

The school also organises parenting workshops and father-child bonding sessions to support parents in their parenting journey!

MSF introduced prevention-oriented evidence-based parenting programmes (EBP) in 2014 to provide preventive and upstream support to mainstream parents and those with higher parenting needs, especially those with children in the transition years (“tweens and teens”). These programmes were founded on some 30 years of research and are found to be effective in countries around the world including Singapore.

There are currently 286 EBP schools offering the Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P) and Signposts (for primary schools only) in 2019. As of 2019, more than 23,000 parents from primary and secondary schools have benefited from this programme.
