PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING (P.E.T.)

Learn the most proven parenting method in the world created by award-winning psychologist and 3-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Dr. Thomas Gordon.  Revolutionize your family relationships by developing effective parenting skills. Together we explore differing parenting styles, active listening, how to confront unacceptable behaviors, and win-win problem-solving, to name a few.

CONNECTED PARENTS, THRIVING KIDS: THE IMAGO PARENTING PROGRAM
An 8-week comprehensive training program for 5-20 parents

A Supportive Hug

Imago is the Latin word for "image". Deep down, each of us carries a picture of what we think love is supposed to look, sound and feel like. We bring that vision and those expectations with us into our committed relationships and families, but they don’t always serve us well.

Based on the latest research into neuroscience, child development, and the work of relationship experts and NY Times best-selling authors Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., and Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., this course will teach you practical tools to use every day to help your child develop into a healthy relational adult.

The uniquely nonjudgmental Imago parenting program provides effective approaches to parenting challenges to enable you to build a caring relationship with your child and provide the guidance they need.

Elena teaches and guides couples and families how to communicate in a safe and structured way that removes blame, shame and criticism, instead using conflicts as ongoing opportunities for healing and growth.

Support Group

COMMUNICATION SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
A 3-hour hands-on workshop for 5-20 parents

From active listening to eye messages and body language, this workshop explores verbal and non-verbal cues, how to engage in open listening and responding skills.  Also covers positive reinforcement and feedback.

SLEEPING SOLUTIONS!
A 3-hour hands-on workshop for 5-20 parents

Sleep is an area of tremendous conflict between parents and young children. There is so much information on social media and the internet which at times, can leave parents even more confused or overwhelmed, especially when we are trying to measure up to what we believe to be expected from us as parents. With Elena’s expert guidance, you will get to the root of the sleep issues quickly, introduce helpful tactics you can implement immediately, and begin to turn down the nighttime drama to create peaceful rest habits for all.
