So the first part of PCIT training went really, really well. The first day was kind of iffy, but the second day went awesome. I think the more hands-on we got, the more comfortable everyone got with PCIT. It stands for “Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.” Basically, I (along with my colleagues who attended the training) were being trained on how to do PCIT. It is teaching parents how to better interact with their non-compliant and disruptive children on a more appropriate level that enhances positive attention and decreases negative attention. These are some really awesome skills that have been researched to be extremely successful for all types of people and families.

Next Thursday and Friday I go back for the second part, which will talk about the part for parent-lead interactions, I think. I’m rather looking forward to it. I like getting training to do new things. Continuing education kicks ass!
