The Balance Program is rooted in the Skills-Based Treatment model, researched and developed by Dr. Greg Hanley. In the Balance Program, we coach parents on how to achieve 50/50 balance between child-led and parent-led time. Balance has several primary benefits to the parent-child relationship and the child develops meaningful skills chosen by the parent OR parent and child. The most apparent outcomes we witness when coaching parents on Balance are 1) relationship and trust building, 2) learning to truly listen and give up control, and 3) learning to effectively shape skills without evoking (emerging and not yet severe) problem behavior. In addition to gaining skills during adult-led time, the child learns to communicate, handle denials, relinquish control, and ultimately show cooperation with their grown-ups when needed.
