See what other families have had to say about the program.
- "We were able to establish and build a stronger connection with our 5-year-old son. It resulted in shorter outbursts, less tantrums and more cooperation."
- "[What I found most useful about the program was] the practical scripts and examples of how to implement the training we learnt and opportunity to discuss and reflect each week on our progress and any issues experienced within the group."
- "Laura was absolutely amazing at delivering this course in such an engaging way at that made it very easy for us to learn and implement at home. She gave us plenty of opportunities for open discussion amongst the group and that made the experience a lot more intimate and enjoyable sharing our experiences and difficulties with one another. She was also a very great listener and was able to provide helpful advice on challenges we faced with our kids."
