Testimonials from previous participants:
I'm in this class right now and I LOVE IT. Sure, you could just go read the book, but for myself that wouldn't work because I'm too busy and harried for any of it to stick. Cynthia paces the material really well for a working parent's bandwidth, offers all kinds of supplemental materials that keep things engaging, and spends much of the class time walking the group through hands on practice. She's also talented at harnessing the power of peer experience - we spend a fair bit of time describing situations where we tried to apply these parenting tools (sometimes successfully, sometimes not!) and celebrating our little successes. I'm a fan. And no, I'm not getting a discount or anything on my next class, I'm just a fan!

[Cynthia is] a skilled, passionate group leader.
This class left me feeling hopeful and connected to the other group members.
I found the class very helpful in learning new ways to talk with my kids. I am confident this will help strengthen our relationship and help them learn essential skills.
I really enjoyed this class and feel like I learned many skills to help me be a better parent and foster my children's self-esteem. Thanks!
I appreciated the variety of learning methods - video, "lecture", discussions, role plays, pairs, hand-outs, and workbook. Key to my adopting these approaches has been the opportunity to practice in class and at home. So the homework assignments were also really helpful.
I appreciated the non-judgmental space - great class/workshop!
I appreciated your preparation of all the material and extra articles. Also your personal stories as well. The two weeks between sessions was great because I could process what we learned, practice it and read as well.
