Parent Coach FeedbackONE PARENT COACH WROTE:

JANDU YANI U WAYI WISH I COULD HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF TRAINING WHEN I BECAME AMUM.IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME A BETTER UNDERSTANDING INSTEAD OF

PARENTING ON THE RUN.I LIKE THE FACT THAT THESE CAN BE TOOLS FOR LIFE,

I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER THEM WHEN MY KIDS GET INTO STRIFE.THE ARGUMENTS, FIGHTS AND BEING DISRESPECTFUL, ALWAYS LEFT ME FEELING SAD, GUILTY, AND HORRIBLE.

I’M GLAD WE’VE BEEN TAUGHT THE POSITIVE PARENTING WAY.I CAN’T WAIT TO TELL MY COUNTRY MEN AND HEAR WHAT THEY GOT

TO SAY.I HOPE THEY FEEL LIKE I DO AND PRACTICE IT EVERY DAY.

CAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL REAL DEADLY WHEN BRINGING UP KIDSTHIS WAY

AND YOU BE THERE TO HELP YOUR FAMILY UNDERSTANDJANDU YANI U WAY. - DONNA SMITH
