Parent Child Interaction Therapy

For young children and their parents or guardians, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a mixture of play therapy and behavioral therapy. Adults study and implement new skills and strategies applicable to children with social or behavioral difficulties, language issues, cognitive or mental health disorders. This curriculum is targeted specifically at parents and carers and provides practical skills that they can use to help enhance physical and verbal interactions with their children. PCIT has been designed for children between 2 and 7 years of age and has been shown to be beneficial for children with aggressive behaviour, or trauma, as well as those with autism. PCIT and PCIT-based services are both evidence-based approaches to avoid child abuse and neglect, and to reduce the risk of antisocial and criminal conduct by the child later in life. Parents and carers play in one room with the kids, while the therapist observes and coaches from an adjacent room fitted with a one-way mirror. The therapist interacts with the adults, offering instruction and guidance via an earphone. Parents and carers are discouraged from using harsh words and encouraged to disregard innocuous negative attitudes when showing encouragement and encouraging good behaviour. They also learn other skills, such as reflecting back to him or her the language of the child to help communicate, describing loudly what the child is doing to increase the vocabulary of the child, and imitating the good behavior of the child to show approval
