What is Parent Management Training?
Developed by Dr. Alan Kazdin at the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic, Parent Management Training (PMT) is a researched-based program that equips parents with skills and practical steps to create lasting changes for their child. PMT is proven to have a high success-rate in significantly reducing moderate to severe oppositional, defiant and explosive behaviors in children with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.
How does PMT work?
Our PMT course takes place over 8 weekly meetings, delivered live via Zoom. Sessions are facilitated by our clinical staff who are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of children with ADHD and other social, emotional, or learning challenges.
During these sessions, you will be trained to effectively deal with negative behavior and, more importantly, you will learn how to increase positive behavior in your child.
Each week, you’ll practice new strategies at home and share successes while problem-solving challenges with other parents in a supportive environment.
PMT Will Help You:
- Engage positively with your child
- Reduce power struggles and increase cooperation
- Handle challenging behaviors confidently
Don’t face your parenting challenges alone.
