Stepping Stones Positive Parenting

Parenting can be hard. Let us help you with that.

Stepping Stones Positive Parenting is a FREE program for families with a child who has a disability or special healthcare needs. Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) gives parents simple and practical strategies to help them build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage their children’s behavior and prevent problems developing.

Single-session seminars and the multi-session in-person group institute offer tailored parenting strategies. Funding from Smart Start of Forsyth County allows us to provide this program to residents with children up to 5 years of age in Forsyth County. Limited slots are also available to families who have children up to 12 years old and reside in counties surrounding Forsyth.

Stepping Stones has done that and then some. We are so grateful for the opportunity to learn from this program. It has truly been a game changer for my family."
