Supporting kids through separation

“I am very impressed with the ethos and skills presented in this course and feel they will not only positively impact my relationships with my children but also with my partner and in my day to day life. Essential skills I wish I was taught in High school! Thank you Leeann for the way you managed the group dynamics and ensured the content was delivered, beautiful facilitation thank you.” – Kirsten

“I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this course. It has given me confidence in expressing my feelings and needs, not only to my child but to others around me. Leeann was peaceful, patient and open to explore and go off track and gently bring us back again.”  – Catherine

“Absolutely brilliant, mind-opening, empowering, logical, clear and practical! I have found the logical and positive grounding of the material very appealing. The ability to put it to practice almost straight away is great and the approach very humbling. Leeann is very supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable.” – Lubo

“From week 1 I started seeing change and growth both in myself and family life. I feel the concepts and skills are quite simple and manageable to apply while at the same time being dramatically life-changing in a wonderful way.

“Leeann’s course gave me the time, space and conversation to look deeply at how my own behaviour was contributing to arguments with my 5-year-old, and it gave me simple, EASY and amazingly effective ways to change our dynamic. I would recommend this course to any parent, but particularly if there are things you want to change in your relationship with your child (or partner!). If you’re not sure how to go about it, or you keep trying by yourself and nothing seems to change, give this course a go.” – Janey

“Leeann is a dedicated reader of this topic generally and brings all that knowledge and her own authentic parenting experience to each session of the course. So easy to relate to.” – Liz

“I consider this tried and true course to be one of the most practical sources of help for anyone dealing with children of any age and even more so for assisting in adult-to-adult communication. The skills taught and practised are useful in all walks of life.” – Patria

“My husband and I did a P.E.T. course nearly thirty years ago – while I was pregnant with our first child. That short course radically changed the way we related to each other and gave us an effective model for respectfully relating to our children – a model that could be adapted to any situation. P.E.T. saved us from mindlessly repeating the mistakes of the past. We haven’t been perfect parents, by any means, but we seem to have been “good enough”. Out three adult children are generally happy, confident people who love spending time with each other, and with us! P.E.T. was a wonderful investment.” – Jenny
