Philosophy behind 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 offers proven communication skills that really work. When parents use the skills they are amazed at the dramatic improvements in their families and in all their relationships. This parenting method was created by award-winning psychologist and three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Dr. Thomas Gordon in 1962. A major revision of the program has recently been completed with new content, examples and material that actively address the current problems, issues and concerns of today’s parents.
You, too, can learn these communication and conflict resolution skills through our parenting classes, taught by a certified Parent Effectiveness Training Instructor. This intensive, proven workshop is taught only by instructors certified by Gordon Training International. All workshops include hands-on practice, brief instructor presentations, workbook exercises, demonstrations, small group discussion and at-home application.
