This program has really helped me. It has given me understanding of:

The difference of parents… from what a mother gives, to what a father gives, in different ways to the child.

How it takes forgiveness of self and others to recondition self.

Helps me understand the mother, the woman and how they work as a person.

Has taught me how to take and react to certain situations with my children.

Taught me some of the different outcomes, of positive and negative ways that your child could suffer from when a situation isn’t handled properly.

Thank you so very much.NFL Graduate Chuck Smith 4/12/08
