Here are some of the comments from people who have received Parent Coaching Academy training.

"I wanted to say thank you. I had a great day and feel fired up and enthusiastic again. I loved the Coaching model. The best part was finding solutions to my issues and helping others in doing so. The practical sessions were great." (Mairi Stones)

"I wanted to find out about being a Parent Coach and I did through your demonstration and thinking about the difference between coaching and my experience as a facilitator of parenting courses. The best part was actually coaching and hearing clients say how useful it had been. I loved the values discussion." (Judy Reith)

"I had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed myself and found the course very informative. What was most helpful was to be taught new ideas and I particularly enjoyed the practical coaching. The Parent Wheel is excellent as it helps the client to break down the bigger picture and focus on what is really going on for them." (Kate Scudellaro)
