End The Family Blues

There’s no doubt that parenting is the most important job in the world and that everyone wants to have a loving and harmonious relationship with their kids.

Sadly, the reality for most of us is that we find ourselves losing our tempers and shouting (or worse) in response to what we perceive as bad or uncooperative behaviour from family members — be they toddlers, teenagers or adults. They, of course, then respond in kind.

This cycle of argument within families needs to be stopped for every-one’s sake. Help is at hand. Janine Björkman, from Parenting Becomes A Pleasure, offers you the way out of destructive conflict and into a calmer way to relate to your loved ones.

Becoming An Effective Parent

Janine is an authorised instructor of Parent
Effectiveness Training, a course designed to teach parents better communication and conflict resolution skills, so that they can deal with unacceptable behaviour in a way that everyone thinks the outcome is fair.

P.E.T. parents find that their children choose to change their behaviour out of consideration for the parent, without the need for punishment.

Parents also learn how to help their children resolve their personal problems and how to influence them to make sensible choices that all kids face.

Immediate Benefits

Janine’s clients find that there are immediate benefits in family relationships after only one or two sessions. Parent Effectiveness Training, developed in the USA by clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas Gordon, takes you through nine weekly classes, in groups of 10 or so, during which you experience the effects of constructive, versus destructive, communication. Janine explains the concepts, encourages discussion, demonstrates the skills and gives you the opportunity to practice them.
