Seneca County Triple P Discussion Group: Fighting and Aggression at Restoration Alliance Church
Triple P’s "Managing Fighting and Aggression" is a small-group session where parents learn to support their children—from toddlers to pre-teens—how to resolve conflicts, share, and communicate. The program uses positive parenting strategies like cooperative play, clear family rules, and logical consequences to stop aggressive behavior. Core Strategies Taught in the Discussion Group Teaching
Cooperation: Instead of viewing fighting as just misbehavior, Triple P treats sharing and taking turns as skills that must be taught, just like learning to ride a bike.
Immediate Intervention: Parents learn to step in immediately when aggression or arguing occurs. You explicitly state what to stop (e.g., "Stop hitting") and what to do instead (e.g., "Take turns").
Positive Reinforcement: Praising children when they play nicely, share, or use an assertive "nice voice" rather than an aggressive one.
Logical Consequences: If a behavior doesn't stop after the warning, parents implement consequences—such as taking away the toy for a brief 10-minute period.
Free Child Care, light meal, and drawing at event.
