Behavioral parent training doesn't have to be cold or rigid, and is much more than star charts and rewards. It can be relational, warm, and practical, shifting underlying patterns and promoting change via everyday interactions. Dr. Rachel LaFleur and Dr. Sofia Goltsberg explain how bevioral parent training, inclusive of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), uses live coaching, attention, and calm boundaries to help families build new patterns, grow skills, manage conflict, reduce parental stress, and promote effecitve coparenting. They discuss who may benefit from behavioral parent training, how it can support children with challenges such as tantrums, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and sleep issues, and why this approach can help parents feel more confident and less stuck. The conversation offers parents and clinicians a clearer, more compassionate view of behavioral therapy.
