WHAT IS PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING (P.E.T.)?

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 parentdoesn’t always mean that you automaticallyor instinctively know what to do. Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) offers proven communication skills that really work. When they use these skills, parents are amazed with the dramatic improvement both in their families and in all their relationships.

HOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BENEFIT

Your children will feel free to discuss their problems and concerns with you instead of withdrawing.They will learn self-discipline, self-control 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. Everyone can participate in rule-setting so all will feel motivated to comply with the rules. Fewer power struggles–less tension, less resentment, more fun, more peace, more love.
