"I found the workshop last night very enlightening. The material you presented reiterated how important and essential it is for us parents to be aware of the language we use with our children and how it impacts our "connection" with them. Thank you for sharing and giving us such valuable parenting tools."
Mother of Three
"I have to admit I came in [to the presentation on praise] with a bit of a closed mind having heard some information about this perspective before from my sister.
But I walked away with some surprises. Initially guilt for having "ruined" my children with too much praise…got over that quickly but then felt overwhelmed by the daunting task of the complete overhaul of our family communication if we were to initialize this process in our home…and finally just intrigued, excited and inspired by the ideas you presented….and thankful for the concepts and tools that you offered to us. "

A Grandmother’s Point of View . . .
"Unfortunately, I was raised in an atmosphere of interrupted bonding, fear, worry about “what other people might think,” and multiple rules requiring unquestioning obedience. This is the parenting style that cursed my efforts to be the better parent that I so wanted to be. How I wish I had known how to have more “peaceful patience” when my children were growing up—to love without restrictions.
Learning from Kristi has been a welcome, albeit late-in-life experience, but one that has tripled the joy of having grandchildren, and I wouldn’t have thought that possible.
My need to shower love and approval is now available to me. Love without fear, judgment, criticism, boundaries or rules. It is so liberating and welcome."

"Kristi is an effective instructor-well prepared, informative, and insightful. The (discipline) workshop was quite helpful."
