LIFE CHANGING STORIES
From Real Parents Just Like You
Adrienne | Mom of 1
Hey! I just wanted to say that validating my child's feelings has been incredibly life-altering for our relationship. I didn't realize how much like me my daughter was and how that mindset shift would really help us connect better (she's 3.5yrs). Thank you so much for your course and all it offers. I also wanted to say that the validating has also been really impactful for me as well. I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, trying to convince myself I was okay wasn't working, once I started validating my own feelings, it has actually decreased the panic attack! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do in this community, you are valued.
Azul | Mom of 1
Your course has brought back the patience that I lost as a result of the pandemic and my son starting virtual kindergarten. I appreciate all the information in the course (I'm not done yet). My son was having a hard time listening in school and I appreciate the script you shared "It's hard to listen, what's going on?" Thank you for giving me the peace and patience I needed!
Becca | Mom of 2
My husband and I LOVE it!! It has been very beneficial for both of us! Currently, the thing that I think about daily when parenting our kids is the "flipping their lid" analogy, and where they are at with brain development. It has helped me in the heat of their emotional moments to co-regulate with them and meet their true need rather than reacting to the emotion/behaviour. I have learned a lot about my own triggers, and have been putting into practice being their calm. It's been amazing to see the difference in them, especially during these trying times where we could be dealing with so many more meltdowns.
Haley | Mom of 1
Loving your course so far! I can see all of the care and intention that went into it and can imagine how vulnerable it feels. Your resources have helped me to be the mom I've always wanted to be.
Hannah | Mom of 2
I ended up getting a cheaper course, but kept coming back to the fact that we were getting so triggered and also needed to understand our daughter’s hitting more because it started happening to everyone, not just our baby at the time. It's been about 4 months since we've taken your course, and honestly it's changed our lives. I didn't fully get how to "get curious" before your course and it helped us find out why she was actually hitting. When we actually knew how to get curious, we followed your advice and taught her the skills she needed to ask for a break and, like you say, proactively help her. She's doing SO much better with the hitting, and nothing else was helping. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Sydney | Mom of 1
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much your courses have literally changed the course of my life. I remember having my son and feeling clueless, knowing I wanted to surround him with love and patience but not having any prior knowledge on even how to do those things. I already have found myself "getting curious" and just thinking before I act. Thank you so much for helping to instill the confidence I thought I would never have with my parenting and even pushing me to take care of my own mental health so I can be a better mom to my son!!
Laura | Mom of 1
Hey!! I just wanted to let you know how your course has changed our family. At first I didn't see much of a change. Our two-year-old was still having meltdowns, so I thought I had failed. But then he would look at me and say he was sad and he was crying; basically, now that he can tell me what he's feeling his meltdowns don't come as often and don't last as long!! Also me trying to remain calm in his chaos has helped tremendously!! I never knew these littles can't regulate their feelings at this early stage, but totally makes sense!!!
Katie | Mom of 2
I loved how in your course, you used real examples and the challenging ones. Not throwing a ball inside is an easy limit to set, and that's what I feel most other parenting experts use. When you relate and show your real self, using real examples of your life — that is so helpful for me.
Katherine | Mom of 1
I thought it was really great! Enjoyed the layout a lot as it makes it easy to go back to reference. It was so helpful to listen to with my husband because it sparked a lot of great conversations about the differences in the way we were raised and how we want to raise our son. He was skeptical if we "needed it" before I bought the course, but he was really happy we did it afterwards.
