Developed by child psychologists, PMT is rooted in behavioral psychology and aims to improve the parent-child relationship by promoting positive interactions and reducing problematic behaviors. PMT focuses on reinforcing effective behavior and fostering a supportive environment. Parents will learn to set clear expectations and give constructive feedback so that you can communicate effectively with your child. 

PMT’s focus is to empower parents by equipping you with tools so you can feel confident when managing your child’s behavior. Another benefit of this training is the improvement in your child’s overall functioning.
