Parent Effectiveness Training vs. other Parenting Styles

Almost all parenting programs give new info, insightful explanations, great theories, and helpful tips.  However, how do you decide which skill to use in the heat of the moment. Parent Effectiveness Training (also referred to as Parenting with Emotional Intelligence) is unique because it provides a framework which helps parents understand WHICH skill to use WHEN and for what PURPOSE. It can help you be more confident and less confused about how to handle a situation with your children when emotions run high. 

Parent Effectiveness Training also stands out because it focuses on teaching you skills, it is a skills training. This is not a ready answer course in which we tell you how to deal with one particular situation, instead we teach you communication and conflict resolution skills which you can implement at home in EVERY situation.
 
The last way that P.E.T. stands out from other programs is that parents are being taught how to become assertive without any form of parental power (including logical consequences and time out). Dr. Thomas Gordon who is the founder of Parent Effectiveness Training was nominated for three Nobel peace prizes for this work. Also, as a result he received a Lifetime Achievement Awards from both the American Psychological Foundation and the California Psychological Association. So his approach is very peace promoting and time tested.
