BLAKE FEELS MORE CONFIDENT AND CONNECTED TO HIS DAUGHTER
"After reflecting on the values we would like to nurture in our children during our class, Melissa then asked us to make a list of all the things our children do that drive us crazy. And as we stared at that frightening list, Melissa shared something I will never forget: "In each of these upsetting behaviors is an opportunity to nurture those values." Melissa is uniquely skilled at helping parents find solutions to the many challenges of raising children while always keeping that bigger picture in mind. -Blake, father to Gemma

THIS COURSE FACILITATED MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS FOR ADRIENNE AND HER HUSBAND
"The first few "groundwork" modules were every bit as valuable to our family as the actual parenting ones. They facilitated many meaningful discussions between my husband and also served as nice reminder that all the work we've done on our own relationship over our 14 years of marriage have lead to us being a strong team.
The length and content of the modules were perfect and well presented.The style made the content easy to understand and the specific examples made it easier to see how the approaches translate to actual situation." -Adrienne, parent of a preschooler & toddler
