"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?'"
BrookeMom
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.

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 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.
ShiraMom
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.
