How the Program Works
A Study Guide shows you exactly how to proceed through the
program. On the video, Dr. Gordon guides you through nine
sessions that feature families demonstrating the skills in action.
Parents use the F.E.T. Adult Resource Books to do skill
practice exercises and short readings. Kids over 12 may also
participate using the Young Adult Resource Book. An audio
tape features learning tips from Dr. Gordon and real-life
examples of the skills in use.
