About this listen

 P.E.T. began over 45 years ago as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolving family conflict so everybody wins. This beloved classic is the most studied, highly-praised, and proven parenting program in the world -and it will for you.

This ground-breaking book 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 use 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 children will thrive.

    This audio book was helpful to reframe the thought process of parenting. I would have preferred it give more practical training on parenting younger ages of children.

    Helpful for reframing of the mind
