Stepping stones is delivered by the NCT Children and Family Support Services in various ways, either virtually online or at children's centres across Northamptonshire.

It helps you to encourage the behaviour you prefer; cope with stress; teach your child new skills and build better family relationships.

GROUP STEPPING STONES TRIPLE P CAN HELP YOU WITH:

• Developing a safe, interesting and positive learning environment

• Ways to manage misbehaviour and challenging behaviour

• Adapting to having a child with a disability

• Having realistic expectations

• Encouraging you to be part of the community

• Taking care of yourself as a parent

GROUP STEPPING STONES IS A GREAT CHANCE TO MEET OTHER PARENTS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS FACING SIMILAR ISSUES. SOMETIMES JUST KNOWING YOU ARE NOT ALONE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

At Group Stepping Stones, you’ll be given tips and suggestions to suit the needs of your family. Your provider will guide you every step of the way and even provide backup phone support as you put your new skills into practice. The Every Parent’s Survival Guide DVD will show you how the strategies work in real life and your workbook will give you the tools you need to start positive parenting right away.
