[17 tips on parenting--which strategies do parents apply?].
The necessity to make available education support to parents is undisputed because of the epidemiology of child behavior problems. Parent trainings are a method to increase parenting competence. Triple P as a successful example of a parenting and family support program is introduced briefly with his theoretical bases, intervention levels, basic principles and education strategies. In addition, findings are reported to the effectiveness and consumer satisfaction. The present work examines which Triple P-strategies use parents after the training in the everyday life. The data come from the project "Zukunft Familie" in which the long-term effectiveness of the Triple P-training was examined in a controlled study in 280 families. 144 parents took part in the Triple P-group training and filled before, directly after the intervention and with 1-year-follow up questionnaires to the education strategies. The results show that the positive education strategies were used for promotiong child development already before the training more often as the ideas to managing misbehavior. More than 90% of the parents, above all, the positive education strategies also practised with the 1-year follow-up. In addition, there was a significant decrease by the use of the "time out"-strategy.
