Book description
UPDATED 2019 EDITION * The pioneering book that's guided millions of parents to more effectively resolve conflicts, communicate, and create loving relationships with their children--from Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr. Thomas Gordon P.E.T., or Parent Effectiveness Training, began in 1962 as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolve family conflicts so everybody wins.

Now revised and updated, this groundbreaking guide 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 apply 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 child will thrive.
Revised for the first time since its 1970 publication, this classic and compassionate guide helps parents teach their children self -discipline and the skills to negotiate win-win solutions and resolve conflicts, while stressing the ineffectiveness of external punishment.
