About Parent Effectiveness Training
Are you tired of nagging, yelling and fighting with your children? Are you tired of having to break up fights between siblings? Wishing you had more co-operation? Or that you had some understanding as to how you can communicate with your child?
Do you also wish to be a parent whom can support a child through a problem without "fixing" it for them? Whether you are a parent of a preschooler or a teen, parenting can be pretty damn hard!
Parent Effectiveness Training is a tried and tested international program by Dr Thomas Gordon, award-winning psychologist and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee. A program for parents of children of all ages, proven to raise compassionate and responsible children, we believe that it is especially suitable for parents of children aged 3 years old and above.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING...
"I learnt the skills to understand myself and my children, what triggers us and how to communicate and react with respect and love. The most important thing is the realisation that nobody wants to be nasty, it's just a need not met. This realisation freed me from getting trapped in the cycle of guilt, anger and shame; leaving me more space to be fully present with the person I am being with at any moment. " - Hwee Mei - Mother or 2.
"So PET for me (and my wife), along with the whole respectful and mindful parenting philosophy, is really our way of breaking long-held inter-generational reactive behaviour patterns. It has given us the mindful skills (and the vocabulary) to relate with, and talk to our kids, that respectfully allow them to be authentically themselves. The great thing about it is that as we continue to journey and allow our children to be authentically themselves, we became authentic as parents as well, ever-sharpening our own ideas of how we want to be parents." - Eric
