Parent Coaching for young children often takes the form of Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT) or Filial Therapy. CPRT is a structured and time-limited training model in which parents of young children are trained in play therapy skills, similarly to how therapists are taught in graduate school, with the goal of empowering parents to be the change agent for their child.
CPRT is a play-based approach that builds on the inherent strength of the Parent-Child Relationship. Parents learn skills to manage their children’s behavior and anxieties, and discover the keys to enhancing and strengthening the parent-child bond.
