“The feedback I have had so far has been really encouraging - I'm hoping that eventually all the parents at my school will want to do this course over the coming years”.

“Parents, that have done it so far, say that they feel less pressured to have to fix everything, and have loved that the role plays have given concrete examples of everyday family life (so relatable for all of us:))”.
