Publisher's Summary

P.E.T. began over 45 years ago as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolving family conflict so everybody wins. This beloved classic is the most studied, highly-praised, and proven parenting program in the world -and it will for you.

This ground-breaking book will show you:

  • How to avoid being a permissive parent.
  • How to listen so kids will talk to you and talk so kids will listen to you.
  • How to teach your children to "own" their problems and to solve them.
  • How to use the "No-Lose" method to resolve conflicts.

    Using the timeless methods of P.E.T. will have immediate results: less fighting, fewer tantrums and lies, no need for punishment. Whether you have a toddler striking out for independence or a teenager who has already started rebelling, you'll find P.E.T. a compassionate, effective way to instill responsibility and create a nurturing family environment in which your children will thrive.

      "A must for every parent"

      This book helped change the way I look at raising my child. We have given up power struggles and have a happy, laughter-filled house. It's not always easy, but it is simple. Rather than set up winners (and thereby losers) to conflicts, learn to work together to solve problems so that everybody 'wins'.

      "great examples"

      I highly recommend it. Very helpful! I couuld relate to a lot of the material discussed and it was easy to put into use. My children like the new way I listen and I like the feeback the chidren give me. My husband has began to listen to it and I can see how he tries the new concepts and has avoided the arguments by applying the new listening skills.

      Story
      "Great Communication Tool"
      What made the experience of listening to Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) the most enjoyable?

      This was the best perspective on interpersonal communication and active listening that I've heard.


      What did you like best about this story?

      The fact that I tried the techniques and they actually work. The active listening worked with my Son (11), my Daughter (16), my wife, Brother, Sister-in-law.... This really works!


      What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

      The roadblocks to active listening and communication.

      "Great information"

      Great information, although I wished there was an abridged version. (Sidenote: generally, I dislike abridged books). But there is a lot of information here that could have been presented in a more straightforward manner.

      "Best thing I have ever done for my kids"
      What did you love best about Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.)?

      Very informative and easy to follow with great examples. I have 3 kids under 4 yrs and was just as relative to them as I'm sure to older kids.
