Trauma-Informed Positive Parenting in Primary Care as a Tool to Support Child and Family Well-Being.

Factors affecting caregiver health and wellbeing, such as trauma and stress, can have significant negative impact on parenting behaviors and on subsequent child physical and mental health. Trauma-informed positive parenting (TIPP) is an effective tool that acknowledges and addresses a family's unique journey and needs, while promoting both nurturing caregiver-child interactions and appropriate limit setting. Primary care practices are in unique positions to provide such interventions, due to their long-standing and trusted involvement with families. Therefore, we propose that TIPP can feasibly be incorporated into the pediatric primary care setting to support overall family health and well-being. .
