"Like all parents, I had done my best since my daughter was born, and I read piles of books that offered interesting advice, but nothing got to the root of my parenting struggles and opened my heart like Hand In Hand. Once I saw how well the tools worked, I thought, 'why isn't this common knowledge?'"

Enrolling in the Foundations Course for Parents was one of the best things I ever did...The class makes you face the challenges in parenting head on, but in turn provides you with ample support as you do so thus providing the perfect setting for change and improvement.

Hand in Hand Parenting is like a parent's giant treasure chest full of beautiful, sparkling jewels. The tools, the ideas, the stories, the resources - I wish every parent could have it all at their fingertips! Here's to worldwide Parent Rescue Squads for all!

There are a million books and other parenting resources out there, but Hand in Hand Parenting's Foundations Course for Parents & Caregivers is the most brilliant and sensible approach to parenting I have ever encountered. By practicing a few simple tools every day, I have built the most wonderful connection with my daughter.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the tears of healing you have helped bring into my relationship with my daughter, and the tender human connection your work has helped re-foster in the human race. Your efforts mean the world.

I have taken dozens of parenting classes; this course has benefitted me the most.

I will be forever changed. My life with my children is amazing. We are constantly changing and growing. I love Hand and Hand Parenting...I owe much of my children's life experience to Hand in Hand. They have taught me to be the mom I am today.... My children KNOW that they are loved.

I delayed becoming a parent in part because I watched my friends struggling more than I wanted to. Hand in Hand insights, especially special time, were easily the most important and valuable of any of the dozens of sources I examined over the years. It has made a huge difference for my son.
