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. In addition to the communication skills and conflict resolution methods taught, this course offers training in assertive skills, how to handle anxiety, and how to set goals for becoming more fulfilled.
The most significant impact on children’s learning and happiness at school is the quality of the teacher-student relationship.
Teacher Effectiveness Training (T.E.T.) offers teachers practical tools, and effective communication and conflict resolution skills that promote positive, co-operative and connected relationships with students without using coercion, praise, rewards or punishment.
A healthy self-esteem for young people sets them up for life's challenges. By increasing their self-awareness, they will increase their resilience to bounce back from the hard times in life.
Youth Effectiveness Training (Y.E.T.) helps teens to develop socially and emotionally by offering both personal development skills as well as relationship skills. The self-awareness, empathy, assertiveness and conflict resolution skills gained from this program will benefit them throughout their lifetime.
