Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is één van de weinige opvoedmethodes die is gebaseerd op wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Triple P is in meer dan 30 jaar tijd getest in duizenden gezinnen. Er zijn ruim 250 internationale onderzoeken en studies die aantonen dat het werkt, in verschillende culturen, sociaaleconomische groepen en in verschillende gezinsstructuren.
