“Stick with it”
“Do it the best course I ever did for me and my family”.
“Was so good for my own well-being that I don’t have to keep everyone happy all the time everyone needs to deal with their own emotions, behind dad is ok, or being angry is OK, building resilience is for the best”
“My only regret was that I didn’t do this course years ago might even do this j course again because life is a journey, and I am everyday learning and sometimes forget so I will keep learning something new”
“Sometimes we get set in our old habits”.
“This course shows you how to build new good healthy ways 💕”
“You will learn to love your children even more as the techniques that will be given help you to grow closer to them”.
“Don’t think just do it. It will make you feel so supported and understood it’s fascinating and enjoyable and you’ll come away better equipped than you ever expected”.
“Sign up now. It’s good to chat or even just listen to other people in the same boat as you. You learn so much. Sometimes you just need to hear a different view to realise things”.
“I would recommend it to any parent; my journey has been so positive and an eye-opener about listening to our children”.
“Old habits are hard to change but once you do it’s so worth it, and the support you get from the class is fantastic”.
“What can I say this is the best thing that we have ever done for our family Margaret was just fabulous with sound practical advice We will never truly be able to thank her for all the help and advice that she gave us thank you from the bottom of our hearts we are truly grateful for you. ❤🙏 sending you so much love always” Noreen & Timmy Sugrue x x
“We would highly recommend doing this program it changed our lives for the better I’m so grateful it will be the best thing that you can do for your family 🙏🥰 it should be compulsory for all families”
“You have to be open to new ideas”.
“Fantastic course, Give it your full attention while doing it and practice, practice, practice because otherwise one could put it aside, afterward and forget ideas and principles”.
“There is great awareness to learn from going on this program. This program teaches parents about a toolbox that we can use as parents and also use for our kids”.
“This program is great because i learned different ways for dealing with situations and it got me to be more mindful about my reactions to my child. This program also taught me great awareness to talk more with my child and not shout and roar. I would recommend this course to anyone as its a great learning for parents and kids”.
“give it a go… it’s well worth the journey, Margaret and Sheila make you feel so welcome and valued”
“We don’t have a Hollywood home, all smiles and laughing all the time…But I am not afraid anymore, I know I can deal with this and we’re getting on OK”
Although it does take practice, parents tell us they manage to develop a new habit to “press the pause button” and not respond to their son or daughter’s violence or threats of violence in the same way as they had before.
Many parents remark that their changes in how they respond to their child seems to lead to welcome changes in the frequency and intensity of their son or daughter’s aggressive and violent behaviour”.
Parents often refer back to their feelings of optimism and hope created during the first session when the programme was outlined: they talk about feeling encouraged by an approach which re-assured parents that while their child’s violence was not their fault, there was something concrete they could do (the elements of the Non Violent Resistance Programme described in this handbook) and that they would have the support of the practitioner throughout the Programme and of the support network. Parents are often encouraged to hear that the programme is a structured and brief intervention, lasting up to ten sessions, and involves parents in a respectful way”
