Online Parenting Class Feedback

Beyond Consequences Online Parenting ClassFeedback from the most recent Beyond Consequences Online Parenting Class graduates:

“There is not a book or an advice from a friend that is as effective as taking this class. I thought I read it all and heard it all and I can figure out anything and everything but my relationship with my daughter was challenging and it was not getting better.

“It took this class for me to understand the essence of what it takes.

An Adoptive Parent’s Testimonial for Heather T. Forbes, LCSW

Thomas Family Testimonial

“I have seven adopted kids all from disrupted adoptions. If the first families would have had the support and education of Heathers books and seminars they might not have disrupted.

“I’m 56 and have worked with troubled kids all my life. Heather has the best info out there. I myself was developing Hyper-Tension because what I do is so challenging. After I read Heather fist book my stress level dropped 50% because I finally found the answers I was looking for. I will be at the Nov. Seminar with my Bio Daughter, 28 and one of my adopted daughters, 14.

“I had always believed that a lot of the info out there on attachment was harmful and was actually adding to disruptions.

I wanted to share this email that I received from one of our online parenting class participants, who originally began studying my work to help kids in orphanages and found it was “ideal and needed” for her own family’s healing…

“Just want to say that
i love the course and that i’m getting a lot out of it. I have had some
really big breakthroughs on a personal level regarding my own trauma
growing up and how this has affected my parenting. I actually took this
parenting course just so that i could be a better mum to my biological
children (two boys aged 21-months and 4-yrs). I had suspected that my 4
year old has had trauma and it’s through doing this course and reading
Heather’s book and watching the DVDs that has highlighted this.

Former Skeptic Now Believes That Love Never Fails!

Ebell FamilyHeather and Andrea,

At the beginning I was skeptical about the Beyond Consequences method.

I believe there is no “magic wand” that you can wave, and everything is roses (with no thorns).

Mom Finally Feels Like the Expert On Her Own Child

In life, pain is inevitable, the suffering is ...Image by tapperboy via Flickr

“My husband Reed and I are parents of Courtney, age 10, adopted from Belarus at age 12 months. I’ve been familiar with the Beyond Consequences Institute parenting paradigm for about a year, but it didn’t really click until I attended a BCI Live presentation last spring. There’s nothing like seeing this method in action and actually being able to role play scenarios that might happen with your child.

The on-line parenting classes provide this same opportunity — on a weekly basis! I was very anxious and dysregulated about the new school year, so I decided to enroll in the on-line class right before school started.

That decision is one of the best I’ve ever made.

For the first time, I went to the school armed with techniques for use by both the classroom teacher and special school district teachers.

I finally felt like the expert on my own child!

These extremely cost-effective parenting classes are worth every penny and moment of your time.”

We are Christian parents of a 15-year-old birth-daughter who we have home schooled for 9 years. We felt God’s call in our hearts this past November (2008) to adopt a child from the US Foster Care system. We are currently waiting to hear back on a potential match.
