Parenting Skills Training & Coaching

At Alpine Behavior Therapy Clinic we realize children do not arrive with instruction manuals. Raising responsible children in today’s fast-paced world poses a challenging role for any parent. Many parents struggle with hopeful expectations for their children while lacking the proper skills or prior role models to effectively deliver these expectations. These dynamics can make for difficult parent-child relationships.

Our philosophy at Alpine Behavior Therapy Clinic is that every parent can benefit from practical, portable and effective cognitive-behavioral skills which reliably ease the parenting job. We focus on coaching parents to develop and maintain healthy parent-child relationships based on mutual respect, clear communication and realistic expectations. By understanding how your child thinks, you as a parent can better anticipate, respond to and positively behaviorally shape your child’s more desirable behaviors.

Our licensed mental health professionals are expertly trained in providing a didactic (teaching) approach to parent training. We believe parents successfully benefit from learning ways in which to respond versus react in challenging child behavior situations.

We provide parents useful information while utilizing modeling, role-playing, hands-on demonstrations and practical information summaries to enhance and strengthen parenting skills. Some of the research-based concepts we rely upon include:

• Assertive Parenting and Communication Skills
• Positive Discipline Approaches
• Parent School Advocacy Skills
• Cooperative Parenting in Blended Families
• Positive Reinforcement Strategies
• Managing ADD/ADHD, ODD and Special Needs Children
• Charts and Programs to Enhance Compliance

You deserve to have access to these important and effective parent strategies.
