What Parents Are Saying About P2P
The value of Parent to Parent is demonstrated by the following
comments from teachers and parents who have taught or taken the
class.
 "Can I just tell you how grateful I
am for the Parent to Parent program? Because of what you all taught
me, instead of being frustrated and angry and emotional I am calm and
proactive – I know exactly what to do to go in and get my son what
he needs – and that brings me so much peace and joy. I know how to
be a partner in the process and that is just a blessing to me." -
Kayla Lamoureax, P2P Teacher
"Our daughter, Katie is doing great – largely in
part to what we learned at Parent to Parent with you. We followed your
suggestion to see a developmental pediatrician and it has made a
tremendous difference in our lives.....She is doing very well in
school. So far, the behavior management system that the teacher uses for
everyone is working well for Kate and all we need to do is make it
through homework time – which can be hairy – and we’re
great. She is doing SO well, in fact, that she was one of 6 girls chosen
to be an elf in the Harford Ballet’s production of The
Nutcracker. Over 100 girls auditioned and only a small percentage
were cast. For the elves they were looking for children who had basic
ballet skills – but who could 'pay attention and follow
direction.' I truly believe that we would not be doing as well as we are
if we had not taken the P2P class in the spring." - From Mary for
Dr. Sharyn Rhodes
"I want to thank you for the excellent job you and the
presenters are doing. I have done online courses before, but only
online without the live phone presentation. I find myself more
involved by both reading and listening to the presentation. Thanks again
for offering this course and the outstanding manual. " -

"I loved the introduction of each family at the first
meeting. I loved the interaction and the questions and
answers. Talking about specific situations has really helped."
"I really loved hearing the other parent’s
questions and responses. It helped me to see that my own situation
is not so abnormal—but more normal for all those other families
who have these challenges. This class has given me hope for my
AD/HD child – that he might be able to function as he reaches
adulthood."
"Somehow, everyone needs to get the word about these
classes, they are fabulous!" – from a parent and a
teacher
"It was a GREAT class. Thank you for doing
it!"
"The general information helped us understand and
approach our child in an informed way. The school info and home
management info was very helpful."
"Worth its weight in gold!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! If no one
else in the class was helped, it was still worth the effort that was put
in! My son and I were headed on a collision course.... I now have an
understanding of ADHD and treat him totally differently. I’ve
learned to pick my battles. Thank God for this class. You may
have saved a life. For sure you saved a father–son
relationship. I hope you have some small understanding of how
important your work is."
"I liked learning how it AD/HD affects more people than
I thought and that I need to do the reading to understand what I have.
It also helped me to not give up on life."
"Thanks for giving me so much help for my own family and
also for the wonderful resources that I can use in my own
classroom."
"I enjoyed meeting other parents experiencing the same
struggles. Very informative—love the resource
lists. Very organized, lots of time for questions."
"I now know there is a lot that can be done to help my
child. It gives us hope that he will be able to function well in
adulthood. Thanks!!!!!!!"
"I don’t know what I would have done without these
classes.... I was drowning and these classes have saved my life! Because
I now understand AD/HD and the issues that surround it, I now have the
ability to work with my family in more effective ways."
"I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in
developing the Parent to Parent program and for training me to teach it.
The course really gave me a new understanding of AD/HD which I hope to
share. I just wanted to let you know that your efforts have already paid
off. I spoke about AD/HD yesterday at a support group for moms of
special needs kids and I found that each and every person there was
dealing with AD/HD, though many had additional developmental disorders."
