Praise From Students and Trained Instructors:

I learned how to understand feelings of my children . . . I talked about feelings and how important it is to know your kid's emotions.
— A Motheread/Fatheread® student in Madison

Before, when my fiancée read to our child, I thought it would just make him soft. I was thinking he needs to grow up though to make it in the world, and reading kids' books with him would make him soft. But then, with you reading that way, I started to get into it. When I go home, I'm going to read with my son. If I can read a children's book out loud with a group of grown men—a bunch of criminals!—I can read that way with my kid! Thank you for what you taught me in this class.

Trainers were well-informed and demonstrate a passion for this project. We fed off their fire.

I liked the pace of the program and though I had many questions at the start, I really feel as though I'm ready to begin a session and that my questions were addressed.

Thank you!! I am so excited to start using these tools and look forward to growing as an instructor. This has been a great experience!

Oh, you all did such a great job! The training was intense and there is so much to digest, but [the trainers] handled everything with grace, commitment, humor and enthusiasm.
