We are all proud of our children, but have you ever used the PRIDE skills? In this week's episode of The Momentum Parenting Podcast, join hosts Dr. Roseanne Lesack and Dr. Jill Wilson as they explore PRIDE skills, rooted in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). These skills—Praise, Reflect, Imitate, Describe, and Enjoy—are designed to cultivate a foundationally strong relationship between parents and children, enhancing communication and connection. During this episode, a comprehensive overview of each PRIDE skill is presented, illustrating their practical applications through real-life examples across different developmental stages.
Throughout the episode, the hosts underscore the importance of dedicated one-on-one time with children. By sharing adaptable strategies tailored to various age groups, Dr. Lesack and Dr. Wilson empower listeners to integrate these techniques into their parenting routines. Whether you're in the thick of the toddler years or guiding your teens, this episode provides valuable tools to help you build strong, healthy relationships and create a supportive family atmosphere.
