"This class was a wonderful outlet for my difficult situations with my children. Debbie gave great feedback for what to do in these situations. Shes an inspiration on how to become a positive discipline parent." - D.O.
"We learned so much and now don't feel so "helpless" when faced with a parenting problem. it really feels so amazing to have this resource in our toolbelt" - M.F.
"I just completed a positive parenting class facilitated by Debra and have nothing but really great things to say about her and the content of the class. I have 5 children and even with all of the hands on experience I have, she had new methods and ideas to bring to the table. It was extremely helpful to discover some of the "whys" of my kids' behaviors and get help from the other parents on the "what" to do about it. I would highly recommend this class for new and "old" moms. " - M.G.
"I went to Debbie's 7-week parenting class and loved it. It felt great to work with other parents that were having similar parenting issues and know that I wasn't alone. Debbie did not lecture, she introduced the topics for each meeting and the group would go from there. She kept us on task by asking thought-provoking and inquiring questions that made all of us eager to get to the bottom of! My top two things I came away from the class with:
1) how to use solutions rather than punishment (ie, choices) with my daughter
2) the difference between encouragement and praise, and how encouragement will empower my daughter and build long-term self-esteem." -W.B.
