Parent Behavior Management Training

When children show frequent tantrums, aggression, defiance, or difficulties following directions, parents often feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond. Research shows that the most effective way to address these challenges is often through working with parents directly, equipping you with tools and strategies that make a real difference at home and at school.

At CAPSS, we offer evidence-based parent training programs, including:

  • Incredible Years (delivered in individual sessions rather than groups)

  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

These structured interventions have been shown to reduce disruptive behaviors, strengthen parent-child relationships, and improve children’s overall functioning.

Common concerns addressed through parent behavior management training include:

  • Frequent or severe tantrums

  • Aggression or hitting

  • Not following directions

  • Sibling conflict

  • Bedtime and daily routine struggles

In parent sessions, you’ll learn practical, effective strategies to manage difficult behavior and support your child’s positive development. The focus is not on blame, but on giving you evidence-based tools and support that can bring relief to the whole family.
