Unsure: No More

Uncertainty is part of life. It can leave you anxious or you can choose to proactively move forward towards growth and change. Perhaps you made a New Year's resolution that you have already become unsure about how to commit to?

I would like to help you with one uncertainty and I need your help with a second.

Uncertainty 1: Parenting is one part of life that throws up many, many uncertainties:

• Am I a good enough parent?
• Do I spend enough time with my children?
• Why do I yell at my child when I said I wouldn't?
• I don't want to parent like mine did but how do I change in the heat of the moment?
• How do I manage screen time when my child fights with me over it everytime? I go from resisting to giving in!
• And what to do about sibling fights? It drives me crazy!

A Parent Effectiveness Training course provides certainty. You learn practical effective communication skills and when to apply them to the problem, no matter the age of the child or the dilemma. The big bonus for you, your child and the family is that the use of these skills leads to growth and mutually satisfying, warm loving relationships. The certainty is in knowing how to answer all your questions. You have a framework that scaffolds. Learn more about the P.E.T. course

Uncertainty 2: I'm being proactive and asking for your help please. I have planned my next P.E.T. course to start on 2 February and I need two more people to go ahead. Might you be interested or might you know of friends or family members who may be? contact me for enquiries or to book

As one couple wrote to me following the completion of a P.E.T. course:

"Since learning PET with Kathryn we feel more confident as parents, are able to better understand our kids' needs, and work out win-win ways of satisfying them.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that while we were learning PET our three year old - who used to cry for up an hour or more at every daycare drop off - began to settle without crying and even started talking at home about the different activities he would like to do at daycare. Last night my 5 year old daughter let me brush her long, curly hair without complaining or tantruming during the process, for the first time ever! It sounds simple but this is a big deal for us! Thank you Kathryn for everything you taught and shared with us. We are more effective parents because of all you have taught us."

I look forward to hearing from you.
