Parent Effectiveness Training : The Tested New Way to raise responsible children
Outline: Most parents have never seriously considered that they need training for parenthood - even thought it's probably the hardest job they will ever have. Even the handful who might have wanted training in parent effectiveness would not have found it. Now they can. More than 60,000 parents have completed Dr. Thomas Gordon's Parent Effectiveness Training, a course being taught in hundreds of communities in forty-seven states and five foreign countries. In this book, Dr, Gordon explains his program step-by-step and shows parents how they can raise happier, more responsible and more cooperative children. Dr. Gordon's system has been called "revolutionary" because it cuts through the age-old controversy about discipline and shows parents the pitfalls of being either strict (authoritarian) or lenient (permissive). In P.E.T. parents learn an alternative - the "no-lose method" for resolving family conflicts. Parent Effectiveness Training is a system that incorporates fundamental truths known for years about how people can live together harnoniously. Parent after parents reports, "It works!" because the skills and methods of P.E.T. produce immediate and tangible results:
- Less fighting, fewer tantrums and lies
- Warmer feelings, closer relationships
- Rules are established and followed
- Children become more responsible
- The need for punishment disappears
- Parents can stop being either dictators or doormats
- Parents and children become friends
The P.E.T. system works with children of all ages, including teenagers who already have started rebelling or pulling away from family influence. Parent Effectiveness Training has been endorsed by churches, schools, youth organizations, probation departments, and many other agencies serving parents and youth. It was cited as a promising new model for prevention of family disintegration in the report of the 1970 While House Conference on Children.
