Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)?
What is PCIT
​
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems. PCIT is conducted through "coaching" sessions during which you and your child are in a playroom while the therapist is in an observation room watching you interact with your child through a one-way mirror. You wear a device in your ear through which the therapist provides in-the-moment coaching on skill you are learning to manage your child's behavior.
