I wish every Social Worker or child worker could be introduced to your concepts. We are overdue for a paradigm change! There is hope! Thanks again and keep up this wonderful work.”

re-energizing both of us toward being better parents. We came home and talked for hours about how we can improve and re commit to providing our son a more constructive and relevant home environment. Thanks for your perspective and your confidence in your commitment to raising sensible children!”
