In the context of Building Grace's application of Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) principles inspired by Dr. Thomas Gordon, the focus is on equipping parents with essential skills for fostering effective communication with their children. Through Building Grace's program, parents learn to enhance the parent-child relationship by incorporating improved communication skills, such as active listening and assertiveness. The "No-Lose" conflict resolution concept is tailored to family dynamics, encouraging solutions that benefit both parents and children. The program emphasizes the importance of understanding and acknowledging children's feelings to build empathy and strengthen emotional connections within the family. Adopting a democratic parenting style, which involves children in decision-making processes, becomes a central tenet of Building Grace's teachings. Parents are guided to replace punitive measures with effective discipline techniques, emphasizing problem-solving and mutual understanding. Active listening, reflective communication, and participation in group workshops provide parents with practical tools to create a supportive and nurturing family environment, fostering healthy and cooperative communication between parents and their children.
