I teach Parent Effectiveness Training abd you can definitely use it for store tantrums. that’s a child owns the problem situation – they want that toy sooo bad and are soo frustrated you’re saying no! I bet You feel like you’ll never ever get anything you want!

Gear shift to I -Message “AND I need to make this a quick trip so I can get home to start dinner” or “I didbt Planon spending extra money today” I wonder We if you can think of ideas for next time? Could you put it on your wish list? (Enter into problem solving) I’m at http://www.respectfulparent.com

In reply to Michelle. There's also a free, comprehensive library on their website. You can reference a specific age or issue; and there are real-life examples from experienced parents that are tremendously helpful.

In reply to PAT MAURER. I can see how a class would be useful to help the techniques become more ingrained!

Great news! This book is actually the text for a parenting class. The 8 weeks of class discussion, including some role playing (which gave me surprising insights), a helpful workbook, and an experienced instructor all help integrate the skills so they become not only faster, but natural. That deeper learning is what makes P.E.T. so–well, effective! :-)

In reply to Chris. Definitely worth a shot! I'll admit that it's been awhile since I read this book and I haven't been using the strategies recently, but I know I found them useful at the time. I absolutely agree that there are moments in our lives when we just don't have time to do a full mutually acceptable conflict resolution. I like your idea. I also think that if we make an effort to deal with issues appropriately when there IS time, it will probably lessen the likelihood that we have to impose our will during those other times.

Hi Michelle!

Thank you for your review of the P.E.T. book. What I learned from it was that it is sometimes difficult to apply the conflict resolution when there is no time to apply it. Knowing that the conflict resolution requires 6 steps, beginning with stating your and your child’s needs, the next is brainstorming together to find a mutually agreeable solution. Do you think it would have been feasible to insist that your child find an alternative solution? Or maybe to make a deal, to leave right away but to come back again soon? After all, the book does say you have the parental right to revert to Method I and to impose your will in a dire emergency to save lives (grab the screaming child and head for the exit) Insisting that your child come up with his own alternative solution might have resulted in him agreeing to leave now and come back another day. What do you think?
