It is very valuable for us to contribute to the development of our parents as an important part of the education we offer to our students, who will shape the future.

In this sense, the Parent Effectiveness Training is substantially aligned with our student-oriented educational philosophy and teaching approaches. This training aims to reinforce learning and help parents act in a consistent manner in each environment students are involved.

There has been positive changes in the behavior of students, whose parents attended the Parent Effectiveness Training in the previous years. Please consider to participate in this training if you would like to develop an effective communication with your children. We attach great importance to every event, which leads us to contribute to the physical, social and mental development of our students as well as our parents.

We hope this limited participation event will be useful for our parents and be frequently organized with different groups throughout the year.

Thomas Gordon EAE

Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) is a pioneering program, which was created by Dr. Thomas Gordon, three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, in 1962 and has helped millions of parents around the world. Along with the book written by Dr. Thomas Gordon and translated to many languages, the training is held by certified PET instructors and helps parents acquire new skills.

Whether you’re the parent of a toddler or a teenager, you know that parenting can be challenging–even overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, being a parent doesn’t always mean that you automatically or instinctively know what to do.

Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) offers proven communication and conflict resolution skills that really work. At the end of a 24-hour training, the parents learn how to listen and talk to their children effectively, understand their thoughts and feelings, and find a resolution to conflicts that may arise between parents and children to make everyone happy. As a result, the children start feeling free to discuss their problems and concerns with their parents instead of withdrawing while learning self-discipline, self-control and an inner sense of personal responsibility. Also, both parents and children learn how to work with each other instead of against each other. They experience fewer angry outbursts and more problem-solving, and have fewer power struggles–less tension, less resentment, more fun, more peace, more love.
