“We saw changes in our family almost immediately after beginning our Common Sense Parenting class. We feel that the scripts given, paired with time to role play during the class, helped us to become more confident in our parenting. We think our kids quickly picked up on that confidence, and our whole family dynamic shifted. Everyone is more polite and respectful in how they speak to each other and we’ve noticed fewer tantrums since we’ve been provided with these tools to help us. This class was well worth our investment!”

“I appreciate Tried & True because it is not just a program or a workshop, but it’s more like a gift that keeps on giving. I’ve done other workshops or programs before, and once they’re over they’re over. With Tried & True, that is not the case. This non-profit takes steps to invest in each and every parent who has the distinct opportunity to participate in a series. With this investment, we are constantly getting tools and resources to help us, be it a reunion or a Facebook post, and more to help us with this extremely difficult job of being a parent. ”

“From the start, my trainer made me feel like the problems I was experiencing with my son were not abnormal, something that I feared most! They had a thorough understanding of both curriculum models and possess the skills required to teach the techniques in each. Most evident, was our trainer’s compassion and desire to help me get the results I needed which makes them such a valuable practitioner!”

“T&T made an immediate impact in our family. After years of battling different parenting styles, my husband and I finally agree on how to handle behaviors in our house. We now work together as a team instead of individuals and the kids respond positively to that team approach! We began seeing early immediate changes in our children’s behavior and saw them actively trying to work on the target behaviors. T&T also helped us, as parents, recognize our “triggers” and unfavorable responses. Once we began taking strong emotions out of parenting, we were better able to handle misbehaviors.”

“I entered into this class thinking I had nothing to gain except for some time with my wife and some respite, a break away from my children. In a matter of minutes I was confronted with an arsenal of incredible parenting techniques and saw quick success and sustainable change with implementation week to week. I am honored to have been part of such a class and am now sharing my experience with anyone and everyone who have challenges in home or just desire to be better at this business of parenting. I’m so grateful for our experience.”

“T&T impacted my family by being a life-line. There is no way our family could have maintained placement with our 5-year old who came to us with early childhood trauma, severe behaviors, not potty trained, and ongoing outbursts. T&T has given me hope because this team is here to listen, ensure I feel equipped as a parent, and truly helped me realize the importance that our children need to feel heard, seen, loved, accepted, and valued. We, as caregivers, need this as well. Thank you, T&T! We love you!”

“The Tried & True classes I took had a big impact on my parenting. I used to be an exhausted mom who yelled all the time. After taking the classes, I learned how to calm down and practice self-control, which helped my kids calm down, too. Before the classes, I was so busy with life that I felt distant from my kids. But after the classes, I realized that my children are a gift and it’s my responsibility to care for them well. One phrase from the class that I really love is, “Parents are teachers.” Now, I’m more focused on encouraging good behavior in my kids.”

“The most important thing I have taken away from this class is that there is a need behind every behavior, which in turn has made me more attentive to what is going on with my child when he is acting out. This course had a tremendous impact on my family and I will continue to use what I have learned from the excellent teachers I had in this course. Thank you T&T! ”

“T&T impacted my family in huge ways! The most important thing I took away from this group is that I am not alone in my struggles as a parent - there are other parents that struggle as well. I feel this class was one of those moments in my life to seek the assurance I needed as a parent. It gave me another perspective. I appreciate T&T so much. I hold that family of a class dear to my heart and I know we all took away valuable lessons.”
