"Even though I felt very familiar with the topic of behavior, this program gave me the solid foundation I didn’t have and some clearly defined understanding about what my child is communicating through behaviors. Now I have useful strategies to support my child and more confidence in understanding how to guide both my child and myself through what can be really tough times!"
