A few weeks ago, my son was having raging tantrums where he would hit and bite us. It was incredibly upsetting – and literally painful – for all of us. There was definitely the feeling of a power struggle. Now he is listened to and feels safe, he’s starting to show signs of self-control and will come for a hug instead of lashing out. The bad moods are still there but I feel like I can deal with them now….
You are so positive and give great examples using your own stories which makes it really relatable. You never judge anyone which is really important. I started this course feeling really ashamed about my inability to understand or deal with my child and it was great to be learning alongside others with similar aged children and issues. And I’m now really proud of myself for turning things around"

Hi Sam
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and guidance over the past 5 weeks, I have a long way to go but I certainly feel like I can deal with situations in a calmer way and be a better parent to my three ’spirited’ children.
You set the perfect environment for learning and the non-judgmental tone was key and very much appreciated.
I wish you all the best with the courses and let me know when you run another one in the evenings for my husband.
Many thanks
- Katie (children aged 10, 6 and 4)
This course has helped me to look at the positives in my family life, recognise and embrace them. It has influenced me to see the good behaviour my children demonstrate and realise that they are not misbehaving on purpose. It has helped me set up for success. There is something to learn for every parent on this course. It has transformed my mornings to be 100% better and I feel I have the tools to get the best out of my children. Teaching them to be independent and encouraging them to do what they can to help make family life more harmonious. This week I have taught them how to load and unload the dishwasher and am putting steps/opportunities in for them to help and be rewarded for helping. …. This course has been the best investment of my time
I could stay all day!
- Maria (children aged 7, 5 and 3)
All the techniques I have learnt have been so useful. I have seen improvement in the kids behaviour in just a few weeks .
- Jenny (children aged 9 and 7)
Sam was instantly friendly, positive and welcoming. I have really loved the course and feel I have learnt lots. I really wasn’t sure what to expect and you’ve put so much time and effort into it.
I can’t believe how effect Descriptive Praise was – it’s made everyone feel much more positive. I love it – it makes complete sense and is an easy, effective thing to do. The email from you was great – really encouraging and made me think everyone has the same issues!
Sam is so patient and listens to everything.
(Maybe) I should have done this course when the children were younger!
It’s not a course for bad parenting. It will give you valuable skills to help improve family life – long term solutions .
- Penny (children aged 11 and 8)
I feel a lot calmer with the unknowns, difficult moments and when things don’t go my own way. My son and I have a more supportive relationship now and it’s only been 5 weeks on this course.
- Moona (child aged 7)
It has definitely started us thinking about dealing with areas of conflict in a positive way. It has got myself and my wife talking about strategies to deal with issues. I think before doing the course I thought it was expensive. Now I think it’s good value! It’s not counselling or saying you are a bad parent.
- James (children aged 4 and 2)
“I learnt more than I was anticipating! I’d always thought that I did listen to my kids feelings, but realised that I leap in to ‘fix’ their problems too soon. It was so valuable to learn this”
My kids have noticed the positive effects and family life is calmer and kinder
- Emma (twins aged 11)
There were so many techniques that can be used to address problem areas… and I truly feel it offers you a toolkit that can be referred back to over the years…..The course materials we have will be so useful for years to come.
- Sophia (children aged 6 and 4)
It’s definitely worth £220 for a much more calm family life. The best thing I’ve ever spent .
- Su (child aged 7)
My methods of dealing with my 4 year old’s misbehaviours were ineffective and I was getting very frustrated. I was doing the same things and there were no changes. After doing the course… I have seen vast improvements in his behaviour and I feel more empowered instead of helpless.

Who would not want to be the best parent they could be? All parents make mistakes, doing this course enables you to make fewer.
