We provide specific services to assist parents in effectively responding to their children and navigating challenging parent-child situations.
Parent-Child Therapy and Parent Coaching: Parent coaching involves teaching parents specific strategies to respond to challenging behaviour their child exhibits. Typical examples of situations that can benefit from parent training include:
Child has difficulty going to bed on time
Child displays oppositional or defiant behaviours (disrespect towards parent, siblings or other adults, not listening, being aggressive)
Child has difficulty initiating or focusing on tasks
Child has difficulty stopping a pleasurable activity (e.g., playing videogames, watching tablet)
Child has difficulty separating from a parent and being independent
Child constantly requires reassurance and support from parent(s)
Parents are provided with education to understand why their child may be behaving this way. Parents are provided with skills to understand best practices for implementing parental responses for specific behaviours. Individual behaviour plans will be developed for each situation and parents will be taught skills to address their specific challenge with their child. Therapists work closely with parents and the child to implement the behaviour plan and may also work with the school/teacher and other contexts where child spends time (e.g., daycare), so important people in the child’s life can all be consistent in how they respond to child behaviours.
