When I first met Therese, I was skeptical. I have done a parenting program in the past and spoken with several other parent coaches, and they often had the same ideas which weren’t helping. Therese heard me differently and when her first suggestion was one that I had heard, I let her know it hasn’t worked for me, so she responded with a solution that no one had offered before! I couldn’t believe after just a one session I had a tangible tool to help me with my kids!

​

Thank you Therese!

I really liked how Therese listened to my problems and helped me come up with concrete ways of improving communication and connection with my child. I also found very valuable the scripts or language that she gave me to use in particular situations. I also appreciated the simple, do-able changed that I can make in the family routine. Now, I feel like I have the tools to model positive intentional communication with my daughter.
