Title: Parent Effectiveness Training
Review: Parent Effectiveness Training gives readers a firm grounding in three essential communication skills. Parents will learn the importance of listening, not just hearing what the child says but demonstrating understanding to the satisfaction of the child. They will learn how calming it can be to have feelings accepted and acknowledged. We all think we know how to listen but this is a whole new dimension.Confrontation is hard with kids. Anger calls forth anger so who wants to start a big row. PET teaches how to say something about what the kids are doing in a way that makes them willing to change, doesn't hurt their feelings, doesn't hurt the relationship, and doesn't start a fight.Problem Solving is a skill that not only gets the issues taken care of but teaches children a way to work out problems all their lives.PET also talks about values, avoiding argument and influencing children about important ideas for their lives.
