Testimonials from Foster-Adoptive Parent Gradutes

This is by far the best workshop we have attended. Every week we learned things we could take home and apply immediately. In many areas it introduced a whole new way of thinking (and talking).

Cheryl A. Neff

This course was like winning the lottery, I quickly used the techniques and it worked immediately! It was awesome getting everything I needed to help my child grow up safe and strong all in one course.

Susan Elias

I have been a foster parent for 3 years and attend 10 hours of training each year. This is by far the most useful and helpful of all the seminars we have attended. It's the one that gives me practical techniques that I actually use every day.

Cathy Miller

This class has taught me skills to cope with my children. Our family is now talking and listening to each other. I could use more classes to keep up with our growing family. The kids are more enjoyable and learning the skills for themselves.

Candace McCabe

This class has taught me how to integrate love, kindness and caring with healthy discipline, active communication and the skills of pause and acknowledging the child’s feelings. Life and raising children is a process. Now it’s time to have a life-changing and rewarding process. I really want to thank Jody Pawel for instructing this wonderful class and putting her heart and passion into it. Thank you Jody for The Parents Toolshop.
