Testimonials:

"Terese's Positive Parenting Class is a life altering experience. As a mother of two with a degree

in Child Development and over ten years of experience as a nanny, preschool teacher and family

child care provider, I thought I would take this course as a refresher. During this class, I was

amazed at how much I learned. The tools and techniques were so helpful in creating a healthier

and more positive environment for not only my family, but all children in my care. I now have an

ability to understand why my children behave in certain ways and instead of "reacting" to those

behaviors I have learned to "respond" to them. My goal as a mother, has always been to empower

my children and raise them as self-confident, independant people and now I have the tools to

reach that goal. This is an ongoing parenting process and a commitment to your children.

Well Worth It!!! "

Dana Aughney, Kira and Devin's mom and family child care provider

"This parenting class has made a significant change in my relationship with my daughter.

I am learning to let go and create more opportunities for her to be independent. I am

also understanding my child's motivations for misbehavior and practicing new ways to

respond which are really working! Terese offers a safe place to share your struggles and

successes. As an elementary school teacher, I thought that this class would be more of

what I already knew. I have been shocked to find how much I do not know and still

have to learn about being a mom. It has reminded me that we must grab every

opportunity to keep growing."

Lori Flanagan, Kylie's mom and 2nd grade teacher

"Thank you so for the positive experience in the parenting class. We learned so much,

and our family life improves daily, with these new techniques. You really have changed

the course of our lives for the better."

Heather and Craig Flynn, parents of Zach and Savannah
