Wonderful!  I feel this course to be a refreshing 'new' way for society to look at parenting and how to view our children.  It has taught me excellent new skills, lessened my stress and helped all my relationships.  I think Sue's own family experience in being a P.E.T. parent for the last 16 years is a real bonus.

- Suzanne K., recent P.E.T. graduate

The course provided me with concrete tools to use with anyone, not just my child.  The instructor models P.E.T. in her life, is supportive and is a good listener.

- Silvia M., recent P.E.T. graduate

I am now finding a larger 'no problem' area and am learning to accept that some problems don't belong to me.  Sue was a very personable and understanding instructor but was able to get her messages across well.

- Ann S., recent P.E.T. graduate

A lot of very important information in this course. Love Sue!  Excellent job, outstanding communication.  Thank you Sue!

P.E.T. has completely changed my life. I realize now just how ineffective my parenting skills really were. Also, how ineffective MOST parents are when communicating with their children. When I was about half way through reading the book, I told my husband that this was the first time I'd ever read any book on parenting where it just felt RIGHT. I cannot express to you enough what the feeling was like. I actually said aloud, "WOW! This is how I want to raise my kids!" Everything I had done before reading this book was because someone had told me that's what I SHOULD be doing. Nothing I tried ever worked, until now.

I feel like I've learned some fundamental skills that are proving useful in all areas of life - I'm really excited about the extent to which this is going to change my life for the better!

The P.E.T. skills enable me to be a more nurturing mother on the one hand, and feel greater self-respect on the other.

- Rachel U.

My confidence in my parenting has been restored thanks to the skills I've learned. While other sources instructed to "be empathetic" none taught me "How" to be... Active Listening IS the answer I needed and Method III has helped me problem-solve when I could not do so before.

- M. Lepe

Applying P.E.T. skills has been almost always immediately effective and I have greater confidence in my parenting and as an individual.

- Alix A.

I found this course really empowering in that it doesn't require me to assume a different persona when I am parenting - I can remain authentic and true to myself and have permission to be "in charge" without being authoritarian.

- Louise B.

P.E.T. skills are quite straightforward and easy to use but really make a difference to how my children and I communicate.
