Although NAIDOC Week is almost over, parenting specialists Triple P say parents and children can still use it as an opportunity to learn about reconciliation.
Triple P's Indigenous Implementation Consultant, Michell Forster, said parents were well-placed to help their children learn about Indigenous culture.
"Parents and carers are their child's first teachers, and as such have the ability to help children and young people engage in reconciliation and gain a better understanding of the oldest, continuous living cultures in the world," Ms Forster said.
"As children's best role models, parents and carers can demonstrate how to get up and show up for change by using easy, simple strategies that the Triple P program promotes - lead by your positive actions and words."
Ms Forster also said the learning opportunities went both ways, and parents might find their children also have something to teach.
"Ask children what they already know and share stories or songs that give a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture," she said.
"They should be learning this at school and have knowledge to share with you."
Beyond NAIDOC Week, Triple P offers support for families coming from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, and the consultant said there were specialised options for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.
"Core Triple P components are relevant across cultures," Ms Forster said.
"Parents are encouraged to set their own parenting goals and apply strategies and skills based on their personal and familial environment, cultural values, and practices.
"The resources we use to reach First Nations' parents and carers have been adapted in consultation with First Nations community to meet the needs of our community."
The courses given by Triple P have demonstrated considerable positive outcomes for high-risk groups, however Ms Forster said every family should take advantage of the training offered.
"The Triple P - Positive Parenting Program gives every parent and carer the strategies they need to help build healthy and happy families, strengthen relationships with our children, help our children grow and support them to reach their best," she said.
Parents in Queensland can access the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program for free thanks to funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, under the Parenting Education and Support Program.
