“When I think back to where I was before the classes- feeling as if I was on a treadmill shouting and screaming at my children and wishing the holidays would end, this summer has been so much calmer and happier that I shed a tear when the children returned to school this can only be as a result of using the skills learnt from the Parenting Skills Course”. Jane Isaac, mother of two children.

"I can't tell you how invaluable I have found the course.  I really plan to continue to put my skills into practice and feel more confident now that I can do this and am at least armed with my folder to refresh my memory and the ability to pause when my button is being pushed!"  Helen Peers, mother of two children.

"I agreed to sign up and attend The Parent Practice course a little sceptical as to what I might gain from it and what it might enable us to achieve with our children.  The first weeks of descriptive praise and reflective listening gave us good tools to address some of our issues and tricky moments.  As the course has gone on and further strategies have been unveiled that work and support those outlined in the previous weeks, our gradual introduction of them has transformed our home life, enriched our relationships with all three of our very different children and empowered us with the confidence to handle really difficult situations with them where we had previously not been able to find any solutions and had often found ourselves in downward spiraling messes." Kate de Bass, mother of 3
