P.E.T - Super Parenting Course

Date: March 10 - 8:30 am

Venue: Keystone Academy, Houshayu, Beijing

Price: Phone for prices

This course focuses on relationships between parents and children (of all ages, not just the little ones) though what you will learn you can use in all walks of life... business/employment, relationships with friends and family members too. Problems do not have to mean fights & someone giving in, it can be so different once you start to really listen and understand one another. Every situation can be a P.E.T situation. It is one of the only parenting courses that looks at both the needs of the parent and also the child. Unlike other parenting programs that are often in the media, P.E.T does not revert to using punishment and reward style tactics when faced with difficulties. P.E.T equips you with skills to listen, show understanding, respond in an honest and non-judgmental way and be heard. This can feel extremely satisfying and rewarding. Many of my previous participants have been surprised and overwhelmed at how much difference this can make. Goodbye conflict, Hello happy parenting. A deposit is required upon booking.
