- [Parent-Child Interaction Therapy](https://kidmatterscounseling.com/parent-child-interaction-therapy/): Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a short-term, evidence-based therapy for children roughly ages 2 to 7 who are struggling with big behaviors such as tantrums, defiance, aggression, or difficulty following directions. Unlike traditional talk therapy, PCIT coaches you live, in real play with your own child, so new skills take root in your actual relationship instead of staying theoretical.
