Testimonial of a Parent: My goal was to meet other parents and if I learned anything from the course that would be great too. What I discovered from this “best kept” secret of a program was that applying the kind of parenting skills I learned elicited cooperative behaviors from my child. Our relationship went from one of a power struggle to one of mutual loving respect and partnership.
