PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING
Whether you’re the parent of a toddler or a teenager, you know that parenting can be challenging – even overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, children don’t come with an instruction manual. And, being a parent doesn’t always mean that you automatically or instinctively know what to do.
Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) can help you optimise your parenting skills.
P.E.T. is a unique and fun parenting course created by award-winning psychologist Dr Thomas Gordon, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Our goal is to teach you very practical communication and conflict resolution skills to help you create more happy and satisfying relationships with your children.
THE SKILLS PARENTS WILL LEARN
-
How to talk to your children so that they will listen to you.
-
How to listen to your children so they feel genuinely understood.
-
How to resolve conflicts and problems in your family so that no one loses and problems stay solved.
-
How to troubleshoot family problems and know which skills to use to solve them.
HOW YOUR FAMILY WILL BENEFIT
-
Your children will learn self-discipline and an inner sense of personal responsibility.
-
You will learn how to work with each other instead of against each other.
-
You’ll experience fewer angry outbursts and more problem-solving.
