Parenting a child who struggles to manage their emotions or behaviours is overwhelming, and can leave you feeling like you are failing as a parent. You are not alone. So many parents feel that same sense of frustration. Guilt. Shame. And hopelessness that things can change. Children who struggle with emotional and behavioural problems early on, are more likely to continue to struggle as older children, teenagers, and adults. And the consequences of being unable to control emotions and behaviours grow along with your child. Children with emotional or behavioural problems that go untreated are significantly more likely to have school difficulties, mental health disorders, and to get into trouble with the law. Early intervention is the key to getting your child back on the right track. No matter how hopeless things may appear, there are solutions that work. Interventions that focus on supporting both the parent and the child together, are the most effective forms of therapy for helping parents manage their young child's emotional or behavioural difficulties. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is the only evidence-based intervention for young children with behaviour problems that has received the highest rating of 1 (well-supported by research evidence) by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare. I take you step-by-step through the process of enhancing your relationship and managing behaviours one-on-one with your child, in the moment. This allows you to correctly and immediately apply the necessary skills for parenting a child with emotional and behavioural challenges, and master them rapidly. Because YOU are learning and practicing the skills directly WITH your child, to the point of mastery, you take those skills with you between sessions and long after therapy is over, so you can apply them every single day. Participation in PCIT will allow you to gain clarity and confidence as a parent, and rediscover the joy in parenting.
