The Triangle P+ (Positive Parenting Triangle) is a graphic representation of how parenting is exercised, based on the ecological model for understanding family dynamics and child and adolescent development. It facilitates an ecosystemic understanding of the needs of children and adolescents as well as situations of abuse and neglect. The Triangle P+ represents the developmental needs of children, parental competencies, and the family psychosocial context. The wellbeing of each child emanates from the interaction between these three dimensions. It is a visual tool that foster active engagement of families during the process of individualised-family action, encouraging dialogue as a facilitator for analysis and reflection. It is an object of permanence, personalised under continuous construction involving the entire family in which guided reflections are collected, in different languages and formats, to comprehend their potentials, difficulties, and challenges to better respond to children and adolescents’ needs.
