What Class Participants Say About PEP

• "“I've taken three PEP classes so far. My relationship with my children has never been better and the classes even helped improve my relationship with my husband.”"

• "“The philosophy, techniques and skills had a profound impact on our day-to-day parenting. We finally had a road map. Attending the classes is an investment of time and money that has truly paid off big time.”"

• "“My house is so much calmer and enjoyable since I took the PEP preschooler classes. I feel like I am giving my daughter life skills in so many areas instead of just getting her to do what I want.”"

• "“This class has given me wonderful insights and better methods on becoming a more encouraging parent. Keep up the good job in providing us with useful tools to raise our children.”"
