Parent effectiveness training
Everybody blames parents for the troubles of youth and the troubles they appear to be causing in society. Parents are blamed, but not trained. Millions of new mothers and fathers take on the task of raising an infant, assuming full responsibility for his physical and psychological health, so he will become a productive, cooperative and responsible citizen. What more difficult and demanding job is there? Yet how many parents are trained for it?
I do a parent effectiveness program with parents, teaching them principles and skills so they become experts themselves in dealing with the inevitable problems that come up in all parent-child relationships.
Do the following statements ring true?
The adolescent:
- just hate going home and get lectured every night.
I never tell my parents anything; if I did, they wouldn’t understand.
Parent:
- I have absolutely no more influence over my sixteen-year-old boy.
- We've given up with Sally.
- Mark is never home. He'll never tell us where he goes or what he's doing. If I ask him, he tells me it's none of my business.
If this sounds familiar, parent effectiveness training can transform your relationship with your child into an intimate and satisfying one.
