What is your greatest contribution?
I now offer private parenting consultations.
"Your greatest contribution to the universe may not be something you do, but someone you raise."
Parenting is a process that prepares your child for independence. As your child grows and develops, there are many things you can do to support them. Parent Effectiveness Training is an 8-session course that equips you with valuable parenting skills that assist in preparing your child for adulthood, like:
-
How to build stronger relationships.
-
Express emotions in a healthy way.
-
Solve problems without compromising.
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.) can help you optimise your parenting skills.
P.E.T. is a unique and fun parenting course created by award-winning psychologist Dr Thomas Gordon, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Our goal is to teach you very practical communication and conflict resolution skills to help you create more happy and satisfying relationships with your children.
