Parent Support

The parent-child relationship can often suffer when kids have trouble following basic rules in the home or act out aggressively. When kids are not motivated to change their behavior, we often find working with parents is the most effective way to bring about necessary change.

How can parent support therapy help us?

  • learn what leads to disruptive behavior

  • feel less stress about parenting

  • see your child work more collaboratively with you

  • reduce the intensity of tantrums and outbursts

  • lower overall stress experienced by other family members, such as siblings

  • move toward a healthier relationship with your child

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.
