“This course has given me a better understanding of what it’s like to be a child. Children don’t come with a manual but this course has given me a great foundation that I can build on and a tool kit of strategies. I wish it would of lasted longer. Many many thanks”
“The course was engaging and enjoyable, we were able to learn factual information as well as the parenting help and support from each other parent on the group. I would recommend this course to anyone who has children… perfect or not because there is no such thing.”
