Behavioral therapy uses several evidence-based techniques to modify behavior. Some of the common methods include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This technique helps children identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. - Positive Reinforcement: Rewarding desired behaviors to encourage their recurrence. - Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT): This involves coaching parents to interact more effectively with their children to improve behavior. - Social Skills Training: Teaching children how to interact appropriately with peers and adults.
