We all want the best for our children. We want to be able to raise happy, resilient, responsible and successful children, and sometimes, that feels like a very difficult challenge.  Our children don’t come with an instruction manual!

Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) is the world’s No# 1 parenting program based on the work of Dr Thomas Gordon, a psychologist who received two Nobel Peace Prize nominations for his work.

P.E.T. is an opportunity to explore your needs and role as a parent; overcome the barriers and stressors to good communication; learn powerful skills to influence your children, and create the relationships you truly want.

“This program is an empowering journey to the Heart of your Parenting, a program where everyone wins.”

“I commend Parent Effectiveness for empowering parents to improve their relationships with their children, so that they can be the loving parents they always wanted to be, so their children can flourish, and their warm connection to each other can endure through life.”  Dr Louise Porter, Child Psychologist/Parenting Author
