Parent Effectiveness Training

Parent Effectiveness Training is Back!!

Boomers, remember when you took P.E.T. with Fr. Paddy Tyrrell back in the 1980s? Consider gifting your children the gift of P.E.T., along with the offer to babysit your grandchildren while their parents are in class!

Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) offers proven communication skills that really work. When parents use these skills based on a curriculum designed by three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Dr. Thomas Gordon, they are amazed at the dramatic improvements in their families and in all their relationships.

Coming out of the pandemic, parents are seeking new ways to connect with their children. Back by popular demand, pediatrician Liz Swider, MD is partnering with fellow P.E.T. certified instructor Margaret Pasquesi to once again offer this internationally renowned parent training to the North Shore.

You, too, can learn these powerful, time-tested, proven skills.
