Thank you so much for your [tantrum] Audio.....I listened to it last night and I find the info AMAZING!!!...Some of it I instinctively knew but just hadn't acted upon it. Thank you so much once again.

Father of twoHonestly, where before I felt like I was in a stand off, now I gently try to help them diffuse their anger by trying to articulate what they're going through. It's like MAGIC. Why didn't I know about this before?? And that just enables us to get through the tantrum in a manageable way.

Mother of 2 boysYour feedback was practical, kind and completely welcome! And I’ve left our chat feeling reassured that I can trust my own instincts on how to respond to my son’s separation anxiety.

Mother of 1 boyIt is not just the change in behaviour which was incredible but the lack of stress and feeling of ease for me as a mother which was a priceless gift….

Mother of 1 boyThis gentle and sensitive gift of wisdom and understanding has instantly created a change in behaviour in my son when he is confronted by something he wants and is not getting. For me it has created the relief and joy of not feeling stressed and powerless in a tantrum situation and the reassurance that it’s ok to set some loving boundaries.
