Here is what a former parent who attended the winter 2014 SENG group had to say, ..."I would like to express my appreciations to you for your great facilitating and all the good information your brought to us. I also want to thank other peer parents I met at your sessions, for their wonderful insights and suggestions and story sharing. I really learned a lot from everyone of you...to keep you updated, this is the fourth consecutive week that my wife and I have not had a morning battle with the kids. Such a big relief! One morning call worked fine!..." Jeff
