From a Parent Intensive Graduate

I was in a desperate place with my 3 year-old son. We were butting heads constantly. Too many days ended in tears (for both of us). Time-outs didn't work, and only made me sad. I could see in his eyes that he was afraid and getting more angry every day. I felt like I was failing him (and myself). I didn't know how to handle him.

 

The class put everything together so simply, so lovingly. I knew I had the tools within, and this class pulled them out. You turned the light bulb on in my mind and reminded me of my most important job-to provide a loving, unconditional, safe, nurturing, and present relationship.

 

It's been months and I practice your tools every day. Our relationship has grown tremendously with a solid connection that I'm proud of! There is just so much I can say about what I've learned from you that words cannot express my gratitude!
