Positive Comments on Positive Parenting

Parents and parent educators have positive things to say about Positive Parenting workshops and educational materials:

"I have been participating in Early Childhood Family Education classes for 7 years - this was a wonderful reinforcement and reminder of what I know to be good parenting practices."

"I feel better about myself and the work I'm doing as a parent. The videos and discussions reinforced that others face the same parenting problems and situations."

"More confident - I surprise myself sometimes - I'll catch myself handling a situation more calmly than in the past."

"I have learned many useful skills that have in turn made me more patient and understanding to my children as well as my spouse."

"I feel like I am a more effective parent and a calmer parent. I also think having more tools to work with has made me feel more at ease."

"I've realized how ineffective my parenting was and I feel much better about it. I know how important it is not to overreact or act without thought."

"This is a wonderful class as a tool for child rearing and dealing with adult situations. This class should always be offered and both parents should be encouraged to take it. Handouts are excellent to take home and read later. Great! Thanks."

"Even though my child is under two years old I believe I have gained valuable information on how to be a more patient and positive parent. I respect my child so in turn she respects me."

"Helping my children feel better about themselves helps me feel like a better parent. This, in turn, makes it easier for me to be a better parent. Thank you!"

"I valued all the concepts put forth during the sessions and implemented some. I had great success in some areas which were very troublesome."

"I still have the handouts that I received. I've read them and I've kept them because I have found some helpful information in them."

"I liked the videos. Because they were real... they were typical circumstances that you run into with kids"
