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.”
