Testimonials
This course boosted my relationship with my daughter and my self-esteem as a mother. I feel capable of solving almost any conflict - and not only with my daughter, but also with other members of the family. The workshop is essential if you want to raise emotionally healthy and autonomous children.
Beatriz
For me, the workshop far exceeded my expectations because it is really practical. From the first session, you can put into practice what you are learning and see that it really works. At first it comes out unnatural but little by little I have internalized it and it comes out more and more automatic.

I attended a Problem Solving workshop with Denise. It was informative, practical and thought provoking. Denise’s style is great, she’s so open, non judgemental, good at listening and asking questions that really helped me to understand myself better and connect with the content she shared. She is a real expert in her field and I instantly applied what I learned in the workshop and I’ve already seen some positive changes in my son and our communication. Huge thanks Denise!

About the Facilitator
Hi! I’m Denise. I became a certified “How to Talk so Kids Will Listen” workshop facilitator after hearing about a study that showed training parents based on this workshop promoted children’s mental health.
Reading this study couldn’t have come at better time. After sharing with other parents the ups and downs of parenthood, I realized how much I enjoyed listening to their experiences and providing them with different resources to help them feel calmer and more confident in what they are doing. I want to help fellow parents to become the parents they want to be. A lot of times, we have this idealized version of the parent we want to be, but then life (and children) get in the way.
This is why I was so happy to come across this workshop. It brings the theory into practice. It gives parents hand-on, everyday tools they can easily apply to their families. It also understands that we are human beings; we have our good days and our bad days, and that’s okay.
