Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based, family-centered therapy designed to improve the quality of the parent–child relationship while reducing behavioral challenges. It focuses on coaching parents in real time, helping them build warmth, consistency, and effective discipline strategies that support a child’s emotional and behavioral development.

In this guide, we explain how PCIT works, why it’s especially effective for young children with behavioral or emotional difficulties, and how it supports parents in feeling more confident and connected. You’ll learn about the two core phases of PCIT—Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) and Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI)—and how each helps strengthen attachment, reduce conflict, and promote positive behavior.

We also explore how PCIT supports families dealing with ADHD, anxiety, trauma-related behaviors, defiance, and emotional regulation challenges—creating a calmer, more secure environment for both children and caregivers.

Strong families are built through connection, consistency, and care.
Support the relationship, and positive change follows. 💙
