“I would definitely recommend this program. I would recommend it to any parent because I think every single parent can benefit from this class no matter how great of a parent you think you are, no matter how great of a parent you think you’re not because there’s every parent that doubts themselves and there’s always a parent that thinks they can do better or that they are doing the absolute best that they can and I bet that that person would be able to benefit from this because I guarantee you that there’s something that they’re missing.”

"...I found different ways to approach her and to bring that connection back for the two of us. I was getting scared of losing that cause I didn’t have it with my own mom.”

“Being able to be there and say ‘I know how that is. I know how that works. That happens in our family too. We have that same challenge.’”

“...It helps me look at things from a totally different perspective than I did before because I look at him as a completely different person.”

“Some of our friends have commented on the difference and how I talk to my kids compared to how they have seen me in the past talk to my kids.”

“There are many ways of expressing love. I have been practicing what I am learning here. My daughters are rebels; one is very expressive. I have changed my method of showing love. Before I acted as if I had the power. Now, I put myself on her level. I ask, ‘why are you screaming at me?’ I think ‘you are screaming at me because you learned it from me.’ One day, one of my daughters, while I was bathing her, screamed loudly at me. I changed my ways. I lowered my voice, I hugged her and she told me ‘sorry’ after I asked her not to scream at me. It’s beautiful when you open your mind and when you are not living in that cycle - of say, I am the mom and you will obey me.”
