Here what our clients are saying
Jordan
“I have done lots of classes and I use a little bit of each every day - a lot with my older two children who are in a behavior problem stage, and I do my best to make sure how I speak to them.”
“Yes, I would recommend to other people and have along with other county programs that are the same to friends, so they know about the options there [are] out there.”
“Yes, it was easy to use. You click the links and it takes you right to the lesson.”
Jennifer
“Yes - once I got through the first couple I caught on really quickly. Love doing it at home. I am slow to learn technology but learned this really fast.”
Tanya
“Parenting without Shame — taught me to redirect the babies over and over. No shame, but explain why it’s wrong or a no. I catch myself and rethink angry outbursts.”
“Yes I recommend the course to many. Both acquaintances who found they were pregnant and a relative.”
Anonymous
“A lot of the shame stuff - I didn’t even realize I was doing that. Specifically watching my dialog and talking about things that I didn't before. Had some hard conversations (with Shilo) - one concerning his feelings about not getting the same attention when the baby comes. I have learned to respect his feelings and talk about it.
Bonding with your unborn baby - great revelation.
How to buy a car - really helped us and we used a lot of the points they made.”
