LISTENING

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

It helped me listen more and it was really nice to hear from the other parents and to be able to bounce ideas off of them when problems arose in our own families. Female Parent

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

At first I was skeptical; however, I can say by the end of the class I have a different look on things. It was good to know that a lot of our problems are not specific to my family and other people have the same issues we have. It was good to feel not alone with things. All in all, it was a great class and I am happy to have been a part of it. Male Parent.
