and this is what some of my wonderful participants have had to say...

"The course was really helpful and has changed me in lots of ways." - parent of a 13 year old.
My daughter was young when I took part in the PET course, I learnt to become more patient with her and also with myself. I now feel more able to understand what she is trying to tell me." - parent of a 2 year old.​
"So glad that we took the course together, it gave us valuable insight in to how we can work through the joys of parenting together & better support one another." - parents of 7 & 10 year old.
"Naomi is an excellent instructor, a people person who is very caring" - parent of a 7, 12 & 13 year old."
"I enjoyed the process of this course, in particular the sharing of experiences with others and knowing that my approach, though not always appropriate, is not unique within my family." - parent of a 5 year old.
"Helped me to acknowledge mine and my child's feelings and communicate more effectively with him" - parent of a 7 year old.

"This is a very thought provoking course. I was introduced to the 'real me'. It has helped to bring my family, especially my kids, closer to me." - parent of a 3 & 6 year old.
