Parent Effectiveness Training: The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children

by Thomas Gordon

Parent Effectiveness Training: The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

P.E.T., or Parent Effectiveness Training, began almost forty years ago as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolving family conflicts so everybody wins.  This beloved classic is the most studied, highly praised, and proven parenting program in the world — and it will work for you. Now revised for the first time since its initial publication, this groundbreaking guide will show you:

How to avoid being a permissive parent

How to listen so kids will talk to you and talk so kids will listen to you

        How to teach your children to "own" their problems and to solve them

How to use the "No-Lose" method to resolve conflicts

Using the timeless methods of P.E.T. will have immediate results: less fighting, fewer tantrums and lies, no need for punishment. Whether you have a toddler striking out for independence or a teenager who has already started rebelling, you'll find P.E.T. a compassionate, effective way to instill responsibility and create a nurturing family environment in which your child will thrive.

Synopsis:

For the first time since its 1970 publication, Dr. Gordon has revised and updated his bestselling classic guide. This 30th anniversary edition includes contemporary examples throughout and a new Introduction.
