Reasons for Pursuing Parent Support Sessions
Research on treatment for children with behavioral issues has shown that parents need to be an integral part of the therapy process. Other names for this type of treatment include parent behavior therapy, parent training, and behavior management training. With expert guidance, parents can learn how to structure the home environment and encourage prosocial behavior. The therapy process involves working closely with parents to identify the obstacles that get in the way of experiencing more satisfying relationships with their child.
