Class schedule

Classes are spread over a period of eight weeks, consisting of one session of approximately three hours each week, either in die morning or the afternoon, preferably on weekdays. Classes are presented in the Central Freestate within a radius of approximately 120 km from Theunissen, i.e. Hoopstad, Bothaville, Kroonstad, Senekal, Bloemfontein and centres closer to Theunissen. The sessions are held preferably at the home of an attendee or in a vestry or a staffroom at a school. Facilities for the use of an overhead projector are essential.

In his own words

My wife and I attended a Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) course in 1984. What impressed us were the powerful communication skills that were presented and the logical framework according to which the course was structured. Our task of rearing children was considerably enhanced in that emotional tensions could easily be defused and meaningful solutions found in cases of conflict. Even our marital relationship improved!

I heartily recommend that both parents attend the course, if at all possible.

What others say

“Many thanks for opening our eyes with respect to parenting.”

“Thank you for your support, sympathy and honesty. You were an inspiration.”

“Gave me a new perspective on my relationship with my children.”

“The manner of presentation was unrushed and very empathetic.”
