Confident Parenting. Calmer Homes. Stronger Connections.
Empowering Parents With Tools to Guide, Support, and Transform Their Child’s Behaviour
When a child struggles with defiance, tantrums, aggression, or emotional outbursts, it can be exhausting and confusing for parents. Traditional discipline may not work, and daily routines can feel like battles.
Parent Management Training (PMT) is a structured, evidence-based program that teaches caregivers how to manage difficult behaviors positively and effectively — turning stress into cooperation, and conflict into connection.
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan, Consultant in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, offers PMT as part of his holistic care approach, equipping parents with the skills and confidence to support their child’s behavioral and emotional growth.
Understanding Parent Management Training
Coaching Parents to Be Calm, Consistent, and Confident Leaders
PMT is not about blaming parents — it’s about empowering them. It focuses on reshaping interactions between parents and children through consistent strategies, positive reinforcement, and healthy boundaries.
PMT is especially helpful for children with:
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- ADHD and impulse control issues
- Autism Spectrum Disorder with behavioral challenges
- Mood dysregulation or emotional outbursts
- Tantrums, aggression, or non-compliance
- Difficulty with routines, transitions, or authority
PMT teaches parents how to guide behavior, build cooperation, and reinforce emotional regulation skills at home.
Signs a Family May Benefit From PMT
- Frequent arguments, yelling, or punishments that don’t work
- Power struggles over basic routines (e.g., homework, bedtime)
- Sibling conflicts or household stress
- Feeling helpless, burned out, or frustrated as a parent
- A child not responding to traditional discipline methods
- Emotional outbursts or oppositional behavior that disrupts family life
PMT helps parents move from reacting to redirecting — with calmness, structure, and connection.
What Happens in PMT Sessions?
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan guides families through practical, step-by-step sessions that include:
- Understanding the child’s emotional and behavioral patterns
- Learning how reinforcement and consequences shape behavior
- Using consistent routines, expectations, and calm commands
- Building a behavior reward system (positive discipline)
- Teaching time-outs, logical consequences, and clear boundaries
- Improving parent-child communication and emotional connection
All strategies are customized to the child’s needs and the family’s goals.
Key Benefits of PMT
- Reduces defiant, aggressive, or uncooperative behavior
- Improves parent-child relationships and emotional bonding
- Increases a child’s self-regulation and responsibility
- Boosts parental confidence and reduces stress
- Encourages healthy discipline that builds respect
- Promotes calmer, more predictable family environments
PMT is not just a parenting course — it’s a lifelong skillset for raising emotionally strong children.
Integrating PMT Into Psychiatric Care
Dr. Ganesan offers PMT alongside:
- ADHD and behavioral treatment
- Autism support programs
- Therapy for mood and anxiety disorders
- School collaboration and academic planning
- Medication (if necessary) for regulation support
This integrated model ensures that both the child’s internal challenges and external behaviors are addressed with consistency and care.
School and Home Consistency
PMT includes strategies to:
- Align behavior expectations at home and school
- Share reinforcement techniques with teachers
- Handle homework resistance and academic motivation
- Encourage consistent routines during transitions
Behavior becomes manageable when everyone is working from the same playbook.

Will PMT judge my parenting style?
Not at all. PMT is supportive and practical, focused on helping you feel more equipped and less stressed.
Can PMT work for teens too?
Yes. While most effective for ages 4–12, PMT principles can be adapted for adolescents with behavioral difficulties.
Is PMT effective on its own?
Yes, and it’s often more powerful when combined with therapy, psychiatry, or school-based support.
How soon can we expect results?
Many families notice improvement within a few weeks of consistent use. Long-term success depends on practice and consistency.
