We also offer Train-the-Trainer Workshops for those who would like to teach P.E.T. in the U.S. The next Train-the-Trainer Workshop will be May 12-15, 2008, in Glenview, IL (just outside Chicago).  Please note: the prerequisite is to either attend a P.E.T. or T.E.T. Workshop or you can complete our self-study DVD-based program (based on P.E.T. but called Family Effectiveness Training).  It is available for purchase in the U.S., in our secure online store.

For more information on our train-the-trainer workshop or how you can have a P.E.T. class offered in your area, please contact us at: family@gordontraining.com or at 800.628.1197.

For those looking for a convenient and effective way to learn our proven parenting skills at home, the Family Effectiveness Training (F.E.T.) home-study program (available in English) provides an easy solution. And you will learn these skills directly from Dr. Gordon.

What You Will Learn

• How to talk to your children so that they will listen to you
• How to listen to your children so they feel genuinely understood
• How to resolve conflicts and problems in your family so that no one loses and problems stay solved-even conflicts between adults
• A simple method for troubleshooting family problems and knowing which skills to use to solve them
• How these skills can be used with children of all ages-from infants, to toddlers, to teenagers

How You and Your Family Will Benefit

• Your children will feel free to discuss their problems and concerns with you instead of withdrawing
• They will learn self-discipline, self-control and an inner sense of personal responsibility
• The whole family will learn how to work with each other instead of against each other
• You'll experience fewer angry outbursts and more problem-solving
• Everyone can participate in rule-setting so all will feel motivated to comply with the rules
• Fewer power struggles, less tension, less resentment-more fun, more peace, more love

How the Program Works

A Study Guide shows you exactly how to proceed through the program. On the DVD, Dr. Gordon guides you through nine sessions that feature families demonstrating the skills in action. Parents use the F.E.T. Adult Resource Books to do skill practice exercises and short readings. Kids over 12 may also participate using the Young Adult Resource Book. An audio CD features learning tips from Dr. Gordon and real-life examples of the skills in use.

It's Guaranteed!

What Parents Say

"I took Dr. Gordon's course years ago because I was having trouble with our teenage son. Not only did these skills help me rebuild that relationship, but they helped every relationship in my life. My mother, my friends and, most importantly, my marriage have all benefited greatly from my having the skills! And I never leave home without them."
- B. Strickland, Mother

"Using the F.E.T. skills with my four year-old son may take a little extra time and thought, but takes less energy than threats and demands and gets better results in the long run."
- G. Stickler, Father
