Parent–child interaction therapy

One is obviously in parent-child interaction therapy.

I want to bring the best of the best PCIT, whether that's training from within to incredibly high standards or hiring the top researchers to come moonlight in my clinic.

I want to make sure that when someone comes to us and they're getting PCIT, they are getting the absolute best version of that treatment as possible, and it's being tailored to help their families.

You can hear me.

You can hear how genuinely passionate I am about that vision.

And I was like, well, that's great.

But at the beginning, for a long time, we just gave her our regular child psychology cases.

I got her trained in PCIT.

You're listening to Educated Parent, the parenting podcast where I teach you realistic, expert parenting hacks to solve your everyday parenting problems so that you can reduce your stress, build your confidence as a parent and raise thriving children.

My name is Dr. Leah Kleonski, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, owner of Thriving Child Center and PCIT Experts Child Psychology Practices, and a real-life parent of two young children.

I am the same as you.

I am invested in being the best parent possible and raising thriving children.

One last quick reminder, this podcast offers general advice, but every family is different.

The advice offered in this podcast is not medical advice and is not appropriate for every family.

If you need personalized parenting support, connect with an experienced clinician or at Thriving Child Center or PCIT Experts.

That's it for today.

However, there is therapy that works.

My favorite example being, it's called PCIT, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

And it's basically therapy where the parents are trained in how to use techniques that will bring out the best in the child, that will over time eliminate their antisocial behavior, show the kid tons of warmth, like more warmth than you think you need to show them.

to develop a bond between you and the child so they actually care about you.
