Testimonials
"Thank
you for your generosity! Our times together are always invaluable. Finding
you and learning from your incredible expertise has lightened the load
of my special child. If you ever doubt your significance on this planet,
just remember you've helped a family create a wonderful life with a stack
of odds against them."
"Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, experience,
and humor with us! Your work with parents is very important and I appreciate
your working with us as a school. We are much better for it!"
"Thanks for the information you shared on sibling differences and
friendships. I learned many valuable tips I am eager to put into good
use!"
"I recently attended your workshop Misbehavior Is Important Work for
Children for the second time and this time brought my husband. Your comments
on how parents a generation ago did not have the information on child
development that we do today really helped him put his memories of how
he was treated as a child into perspective. Now rather than thinking of
his parents as mean-spirited adults, he is able to see them as less informed.
The difference in his approach with our children now is simply amazing.
'Thank you' seems a trivial phrase for the paradigm shift you have provided
to us as a family. Please keep up your wonderful work."
"Thanks for meeting with us for a consultation on sleep. In just
two days, we have seen bedtime become transformed, just as you said it
could! Our son is sleeping through the night in his own bed and he loves
the Calm Down Box! My husband didn't believe we would ever have couple
time again and now, for the first time in 5 years, we have had two nights
in a row! Your Bedtime Success From A to Zzzzz book will be our baby gift
of choice from now on!"
"Several years ago I attended a workshop series you did at our church.
Recently, I attended The Spirited Child workshop and was reminded again how
much you have touched the lives of families in Austin. Your suggestions
are practical and positive, and they work! Your message of seeing things
from a child's point of view reminds adults what is is like to be little."
"Your respect for parents making mistakes and your kindness is like
a warm snuggly blanket that helps us feel safe and secure. We can do this!
I'm proud to tell my friends that my family is a For Kids' Sake family."
"Last night my husband and I attended You Are NOT the Boss of Me
workshop. We laughed, we cried, it was better than a movie! I can't wait
to read the book and try more of your suggestions. And thanks for helping
me realize that my child was not always the one starting those power struggles."
"At the beginning of the school year, my fifth grader came home with
an assignment to bring in his favorite book from when he a small child.
He took in Saving B Bear, which he has read repeatedly since it came out
last summer. He told me, 'I don't think she'll notice that this book is
only a year old, do you?' "
