What is P.E.T.?
Dr. Thomas Gordon's Parent Effectiveness Training, P.E.T., is the most researched,
evidence-based, best practices, model for raising responsible, loving, and
respectful children of all ages. The P.E.T. course is the original parenting
program, upon which many other programs are based such as Active Parenting, Non-Violent Communication, How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, and Triple-P Parenting Program. It founded the development
of conflict resolution, active listening, and effective confrontation courses, presently offered at universities, colleges,
schools, and in corporate environments around the world. The P.E.T. program was developed
by Gordon Training International and is delivered in over 40 countries today. Dr. Thomas Gordon has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice. The book has sold millions of copies world wide and has been translated into over 20 foreign languages.
Connection between parent and child is enhanced by learning the skills in this
seminar. P.E.T. provides families with confidence, healthy self-esteem,
emotional intelligence, open communication, problem-solving skills, assertiveness,
empathy and increased co-operation in their relationships. Most of all, families re-discover peace in their homes and joy in living together.
In independent reviews, by Family Resource Programs Canada and by parent educators, social workers, psychologists, doctors, nurses, teachers, and parents, the P.E.T. program has consistently rated five stars (the highest awarded) for the best practices in parenting program available.
