What Should Parents Do When Their Child is Having Behavior Problems?

When children have frequent behavioral challenges that affect their ability to function at school or within the family, parents are often left feeling helpless. When children struggle with frequent temper tantrums, defiance, aggression, hyperactivity, or emotional outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere, this can be difficult for parents to manage. When parents are constantly getting phone calls from their child’s school, struggle to get their child out the door for daily activities, or they cannot get their child to cooperate with the simplest requests, parents can feel stressed and overwhelmed. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is the go-to treatment for these challenges.
