Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) is a program that offers parents the specific communication and conflict resolutions skills it takes to build and maintain an effective relationship with a child, in any and all circumstances.

Parent Effectiveness Training

Dr. Thomas Gordon's, Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) class is the pioneering program that has helped millions of parents around the world. We have classes offered by certified P.E.T. Instructors throughout the country and in many different countries.

Whether you're the parent of a toddler or a teenager, you know that parenting can be challenging--even overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, children don't come with an instruction manual. And, being a parent doesn't always mean that you automatically or instinctively know what to do.

Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) offers proven communication skills that really work. When they use these skills, parents are amazed with the dramatic improvement both in their families and in all their relationships. This program was created by award-winning psychologist and three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Dr. Thomas Gordon in 1962. A major revision of the P.E.T. program was completed in July, 2006 with up-to-date examples, new content and more.

You, too, can learn these communication and conflict resolution skills through Dr. Gordon's P.E.T. program, taught by your certified P.E.T. instructor, Sue Kruszewski.

How the Program Works

This intensive, proven program is taught only by instructors certified by Gordon Training International. The P.E.T. class consists of brief lectures, demonstrations, workbook exercises, practice exercises, some homework and small group discussion.

Each class participant will receive a set of P.E.T. materials which includes the 30th anniversary edition of the P.E.T. book, a P.E.T. Workbook, a Participant Certificate and a copy of Dr. Gordon's Credo. This is an 18 - 24-hour program and the schedule depends on the individual P.E.T. instructor.
