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.

​

​

• How to talk to your children so that they will listen to you.​
