Parenting CPR

Child-Parent-Relationship Training gives you proven techniques for parenting

Most other parent training programs focus on techniques to correct or extinguish children’s problematic behavior. Child-Parent-Relationship Training was developed by Drs. Garry Landreth and Sue Bratton with the University of North Texas Center for Play Therapy. C-P-R Training enhances and strengthens the relationship between the parent and child by equipping parents with basic play therapy skills. “C-P-R Training is based on the rationale that the relationship between parent and child is the essential and curative therapeutic dimension for improving and correcting children’s problems and preventing the development of future problems.”*
