Description:
Parent Effectiveness Training, pioneered by Dr. Thomas Gordon, was the first national program to stress how ineffective and destructive punishing kids is and to teach parents effective alternatives. It introduced concepts adapted by numerous other parenting and relationship books (e.g., Adele Faber's How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen To Kids Will Talk), such as active listening, "I" messages, no-lose conflict resolution, and conflict resolution.
Expand description
PET teaches parents:
-- how to listen so kids will feel understood
-- how to talk so kids will understand you
-- how to make family rules kids will follow
-- how to resolve conflicts so nobody loses
-- how parents unknowingly block communication
-- why punishment, both physical and verbal, is damaging
Dr. Gordon's pioneering concepts are as fresh today as they were when the book was first published thirty years ago. However, he has used more contemporary examples of parent-child conflict to speak to today's parents.
