What is Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)?
CPRT is a 10-session evidence based filial therapy model that helps to strengthen the relationship with your child by engaging with them using their own language. This is aimed at parents with primary aged children. Older children that may better suit a play intervention may also be suitable.
CPRT sessions take place between therapist and parent/ guardian only – no child is needed as I will be helping to teach and support you with learning the skills needed to better understand your child.
CPRT can help you with:
- Using the same play therapy skills I have learned that will help you to understand your child’s emotional needs better.
- Using a different way of listening to and engaging with your child.
- Developing your child’s self-control and self-esteem.
- Setting limits of inappropriate behaviour.
- Feeling more confident as a parent.
- I am not going to go judge you. I am a parent of a 17 year old and appreciate the challenges of trying to get it ‘right’. Even with all the best intent we do not always get the outcome we are hoping for. I am here to sit alongside and support you. We will figure it out together.
What is expected of me?
CPRT asks of you to attend all 10 sessions so I can teach you the skills needed to build on the relationship with your child.
CPRT also asks for a commitment of only 30 minutes a week to spend ‘special’ playtime with your child. In those 30 minutes you will practice the skills we have learned in our sessions together, which include:
- Actively listening to your child
- Reflecting your child’s feelings
- Giving responsibility back to your child
- Learning how to set limits with your child
- Building your child’s self-esteem
CPRT is also a space for you to talk about your concerns, frustrations, and triumphs. There is no ‘perfect’ way of being a parent, and it is often a struggle to find the best way through it. I will be here to support you on your parenting journey.
