This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING (PET) ONLINE STARTS 7PM SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2024--PEACEFUL PARENTING FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

Hello Parents for a Peaceful World

Parent Effectiveness Training PET is the world’s oldest, most popular and proven effective parenting program in the world. Since its inception in 1962 millions of parents from many different cultures have benefitted from the program. PET differs from all other parenting programs in that it never condones nor advocates the use of any kind of punishment or reward. You learn how to substitute talking and listening to meet needs mutually rather than using power to try to control the child’s unwanted behaviour or giving up and surrendering to your child.

PET is a 16+ hour course delivered by Zoom in eight 2+ hour sessions, over eight consecutive weeks at a day/time convenient for all worldwide. The course includes two workbooks, the PET book by Thomas Gordon (also in Chinese), PDF of sessions, and Completion Certificate--all digital texts sent by email. Highly interactive role plays, group discussions, personal examples, workbook exercises--in group, pairs and threesomes; and individual weekly debriefing. $100NZD/$60USD (Single or Couple--$50NZD/$30USD repeat students). Sign up now to make a peaceful world through peaceful parenting!

NOTE FOR PAYMENT: ALL MONEY GOES TO MY AFRICAN CHARITY

"Parents can raise children who are responsible, self-disciplined, and cooperative without relying on the weapon of fear; they can learn how to influence children to behave out of genuine consideration for the needs of parents rather than out of fear of punishment or withdrawal of privileges.” Thomas Gordon

“As I took my PET Course, I started noticing changes within myself and in my daughter. She responded to all the skills as I learned them and put them into practice. Our problems became less and less. Through the new skills I was learning, I was able to improve our relationship; we learned to be honest and have an open relationship. I started trusting her more, and in return she did the same.” Mother who took PET
