Parent Coaching – Parent Management Training (PMT)

Parents often report difficulty effectively parenting children and fostering positive relationships with their children. Parent coaching can be helpful to improve the parent-child relationship and learning effective methods to decrease problem behaviors (tantrums, aggression, non-compliance). We also help parents increase awareness of their children’s and their own emotional experiences in order to enable more effective communication.

​

Parent Management Training (PMT) provides parents with skills that aim to: 

​

• Improve the quality of the parent -child relationship

• Increase effective commands by providing reinforcement for positive behaviors (praise and rewards)

• Provide discipline-focused strategies to decrease negative behaviors (time-out and remove attention) 

• Respond to negative behaviors in a calm and consistent manner
