Pride in your Parenting

Testimonials - What people say
Below is some of the feedback we have received from our parenting programmes, in answer to the question "What was the best thing about the course?"
"Feeling uplifted, a new vision of myself" "Friendly and fun atmosphere" "It is a treat to be able to do this type of work through bitesize for free" "It was very practical and gave a lot of encouragement to me" "Instead of moaning about what does work, I have new ideas to try" "To learn how to listen to my children" "The energy and dynamism of the coach. He was able to get the best from the group" "Interactive learning opportunity to practice new skills" "Meeting other people with similar problems" "Staying connected to my children throughout their lives is fundamental to me - I know these workshops will help me achieve this ambition" "The practical processes give us real tools to go away and try out in our environment" "Having time to explore parenting" "Some of my old ideas continually get the wrong result; this has given me some new options to try" "Getting time to focus" "Real people facing real dilemmas" "The skills are not just for parenting they are for my life" "I will recommend this to many of my friends (parents at the same school). They really should come to the next one"
And from our family workshop entitled discovering "What a great family we have" " Family day was great fun. My 12 year-old did feel rather shy coming to meet some of my parenting group, not knowing what to expect - but found himself really enjoying it. We all had fun together, working, playing together - great fun!" "Family day was good for my daughter, she loved doing the colleague and it brought us closer together".
A quote from someone who has attended just 3 workshops in 2003 is: "Having been down the route of therapists and psychologists, not one had "hit the spot" for our family issues. Participating in PiyP sessions has been both challenging and enlightening and the feeling of warmth and support from like minded parents in similar situations has given me hope and the courage to keep trying. Children don't come with a manual, but this is a group where everyone is learning new strategies and sharing success
