Responding to Nightmares

by Triple P Team

Did you have nightmares as a kid? Even if you don’t remember having them, chances are you probably did. And, for some of us, our childhood nightmares were so powerful that we still remember them to this day! Childhood nightmares are common in children 3-5 years old. With changes to their routine (starting in preschool […]

Car Seat Clinic Benefit All Families

by Parenting Now!

During a recent car seat inspection at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho, two Certified Car Seat Technicians identified several brand new car seats that were missing crucial safety features. The parents, who bought their car seats new via online vendors, were shocked. With online shopping as popular as ever, how can parents be […]

Friendships Formed In Group Stayed Stitched Together

Make Time For Everyday Learning Opportunities

by Triple P Team

Toddlers and young children are constantly asking questions about their world: “Why is the sky blue?”, “Why do we have feet?” As a parent, it can be hard to keep up with their curiosity! But the truth is, you are likely teaching your child more than you even realize through your everyday interactions. From building […]

Amistad y Enemistad: Navegando a través de las relaciones entre hermanos y hermanas

by Triple P Team

  Cuando tu peque número 2 estaba aún en el vientre, tal vez soñabas en cómo sería la relación entre tus peques: “¿Me ayudará mi niño mayor a traer los pañales para su hermanito?” o ¿Mi hija pequeña bailará como su hermana mayor?”  “¡Tal vez ellas participarán en un recital juntas!”. Ahora regresa al presente, […]

5 beneficios de desconectarse

by Triple P Team

La familia se encuentra en una encrucijada cuando viene el tiempo frente a la pantalla. Por un lado, dejar que tu peque vea Daniel Tiger mientras esperas en la fila de alguna oficina gubernamental es de gran ayuda. Pero, por otro lado, cada vez estamos más conscientes de cómo la tecnología digital (teléfonos inteligentes, tabletas, dispositivos electrónicos […]

Encouraging Independent Play

by Triple P Team

Preschoolers and their parents lead busy lives. There are pretend cakes to bake; dolls and stuffies with “boo boos” that need mending; and grocery shopping to do for the play kitchen. As fun as these games are for kids, there are very real tasks that all parents need to get done during the day—and it’s […]

Build Your Parenting Tribe

by Parenting Now!

Life changes significantly when we have children, and it’s not uncommon for parents (especially those with newborns and infants) to feel social isolation. Between feedings, swaddling, and diaper changes to the busy toddler years of potty training, tower building, and imaginative play, weeks to months can fly by without us parents interacting with another adult. […]

Emotion Coaching Through the Holidays

by Parenting Now!

The holidays are an exciting time for both parents and kids. We set our expectations high, filling our calendar with trips to the pumpkin patch, sledding, holiday parties, and more—all in the name of giving our children a rich holiday experience. In all the excitement, parents sometimes forget that changes to routines (like bedtime and […]
