Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.): The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This one or PET(the other addition). Active listening - a tool for a lifetime. "

" Top notch parenting techniques about cooperating with your kids to meet their needs and yours. "

" I appreciate the content, hence, 4 stars, but it seemed a bit padded, hence not 5 stars. I agree with other reviewers that pointed out that readers can benefit from using the communication techniques discussed in the book with anyone, not just their kids. I originally checked the book out from the library, but ordered my own copy after I finished reading it, so that I could peek at it now and then on impulse, or loan it out to bookworthy friends. "

" I'm still currently reading this book, but so far, wow, this book is *awesome*. I feel so much more confident now to raise a child in the upcoming, more mentally difficult and complex years. This book also helped me with relationships with people in general, not just my child. This book, along with "Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles," are my must-reads for parenting and 'discipline.' "

" Read a newer edition. I couldn't get over the 60's attitude of this ed. It was the only copy available in my library. "

" Great ideas for giving children messages of acceptance and love. It's taken me a few reads to wrap my head around and implement the non-disciplinarian approach to my five year old son (have you met him?) "

" I really don't enjoy reading parenting books, but this one was worth reading for sure. "

" 42 yrs later, it's still got some great insights. "

" Pretty sure I read this years ago in a psych class... maybe it'll help me improve my skills. Will let you know. "

" Recommended for anyone who is having trouble communicating with their kids, or who wants to have better communication. This was a huge help for me. "

" Love the insights in the book. Really had some amazing theories on raising kids. "

" Excellent info on communicating with kids of all ages(0 on up to 99). "

" Our third child is coming in about 5 weeks. I'm excited and hopefully that I will get it right this time. Or at least do better than I've done with our first two. Being a dad is the hardest, and best thing I've ever done. "

" I read this book before my first pregnancy. It is a must read for all new parents and great for teachers as well. "

" I've read a lot of parenting books, but I really liked this one. It's practical and useful stuff. Recommended! "

" The best book for every body, not only for parents. It teachs you how to communicate with others. "

" Another read from my hippie days. But I paid attention... "

" Great method, highly recommended to all parents. It IS an eye opener "

" This book isn't just for helping communication between you and your children, this book also helped me communicate and compromise better with my husband, stopped a lot of arguments in their tracks. Can't speak highly enough of it. "

" Be real with your kids. Use I-messages to communicate your feelings rather than you-messages. Use active listening to understand what your kids are feeling. Good book. "

" A logical, humane approach to raising children and to other interpersonal relations. The techniques outlined here are not always easy, but I believe them to be admirable and goals to aspire to. "
