What is parent training?

As a parent you are the most valuable resource for your child. If your child is suffering from behavioral issues, attention and concentration problems, conduct issues, defiance, or any other issue, parent training will help you learn ways to help your child.
 
The CBT Parent Training is a researched based approach to increase behavior modification and focuses on utilizing effective child learning methods to foster a healthy parent-child interaction as well as to promote a healthy development for the child. Teachers, therapists, and peers interact with your kids, but parents spend the majority of the time with their children. Parents play an integral part in their children’s development and growth. Together, I work with parents to help them become a “co-therapist” in the modification and treatment of their children’s behavioral issues.
