Therapies that assume that growth should happen with the child, but not the parents start out with a flawed premise. Healthy change means that everyone grows. In pdxi there is awareness that for successful change the parent-child system, as a whole, is the target of treatment. As it turns out, children tend to seek attention - to the point that negative attention is better than no attention. With humor, it is possible to integrate pdxi with Gentle Parenting.
