Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) is based on a philosophy of respect for everyone’s feelings and needs in family relationships. Meeting children’s emotional needs is vital for raising happy, resilient, secure kids and our needs as parents are important too!
The skills taught in P.E.T. give parents highly practical tools for building warm loving relationships with their children and gaining co-operation from their kids without using coercion and rewards.
Improve and enrich all your relationships.
Be Your Best (B.Y.B.) teaches you how to become more effective and take responsibility in both your personal and professional life.
