Parenting

Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) helps improve relationships between parents and children by teaching better communication and conflict resolution skills. Created by Dr. Thomas Gordon, PET encourages parents to listen and respect their children's feelings, which reduces power struggles and helps meet children's needs.

A key benefit of PET is that it builds children's self-esteem and independence. By fostering mutual respect, parents learn to create an open environment where kids can share their thoughts and feelings. This often leads to more cooperation, fewer conflicts, and stronger emotional bonds within families, making parenting more rewarding for everyone.
