Some of the comments parents often tell us are that they find the sessions very relaxed and informal, the atmosphere and emphasis of the course very positive and forward looking, and all the suggestions very practical. We see ourselves as ‘coaches’ who can work with parents to help apply the BEF approach in their own home situation. If you think about it, a sports coach doesn’t tell a talented player how to play the game. Rather, he will help the player see what he is doing and how he could improve and fine tune his game to become more effective still. We hold the belief that a concerned parent who enrols on this course is, by doing so, a good and conscientious parent looking to further improve their parenting skills.

What parents have said about the course:
“I felt as though someone was listening to my problems, and helped me find solutions that fitted our family”

“I learned a lot of new ways to settle conflicts in my family”

“I didn’t know talking about family stuff could be so much fun”

“I am glad for the positive, non-blaming approach which helped me understand everyone’s needs”

“This course was brilliant. Janet and Trevor were always there to speak to and help. Thank you, this course has really helped me.”

“It is a vast improvement on other courses I’ve attended.”

“I am so pleased that I attended Building Effective Families. I felt like I had reached the end of the road with my teenage son and felt I didn’t know how to support him anymore. Now I feel that we have built a relationship for life rather than just surviving week by week. The work continues now with both of my children.”
