C'mon Everybody
Promoting Children's Social and Emotional Competence
What parents say about us and the course
Over the years, the feedback we receive from parents has been inspiring and
continues to motivate us as workers. We thank them for thier
comments.
"The whole experience, even down to the creche facilities was
brilliant. Even though we don't come across issues all the time, I will
always remember to stop and think before I get stressesd"
"It gave me knowledge that I did not have before. I can pass this on
to my partner, my mum and my friends. This will not only help me but others
around me."
"It's not just the course content but how it's delivered that's invaluable"
"I feel more relaxed and confident in dealing with my children, especially
in public"
"The course has been one of the best experiences of my life"
"My boys lives are a lot happier as well as myself and my partner.
Supermarkets are no longer a problem. Tantrums are almost a thing of the past,
happening fewer and fewer"
"This course is fantastic and should be compulsory"
"Brill, going to squat here so I will be on your next course"
An excellent course where theory really can be put into practice and it
REALLY DOES WORK!!!
I am generally a much happier, calmer mum and find days easier. My children
likewise - creating a much happier home. Ignoring and using sticker charts have
been really helpful in particular.
I have been a parent for 22 years and only wish that this course had been
available to me when my own children were younger. It is a fantastic course and
really makes you think about how you "see" a child's behaviour. I would like to
see every parent do this course and every foster carer too!
He has gone from a child of low self-esteem and being aggressive into a
lovely, happy sociable loving little boy; always happy and smiling.
I was sceptical about the course at first - but how wrong I was! What a
fantastic 16 weeks...... I know all the kids I look after now and in the future
will be better people because of it.
Before the course Jack had become abusive, violent and out of control,
especially at bedtime. I was put in touch with Ann via a friend who had been on
the course. I was given tremendous emotional support and advice which in turn
led me to "get back" so to speak, my beautiful and caring little boy for which I
will be eternally grateful.
I have found the whole course invaluable; not only for the difference it has
already made but I now feel armed and ready to deal with any problems that may
arise in the future.
Praise, praise and praise - it totally works!
My child's behaviour befor coming hear would be that she would swear kick
bite and nip. But now she has manors and play nicer and has shared things and
she is just my little angel now!
I feel more confident as a mum and so happy; I'm now able to sleep all night
due to the advice on bedtime routines and I can go out shopping (clothes and
food) without having to chase my son around the shops.
My partner says I have changed. I don't get stressed out; we discuss things
more. We work together - so we argue less. Beth understands us and knows what we
are on about more. We play more.... Jack's behaviour has improved. Still got a
way to go - I let him get away with things thinking "he's only a boy" - not
now!
The children now have clear boundaries. I feel very competant in dealing
with the kids using the methods I have learnt should the boundaries be
crossed.
I feel so much more confident now as a parent. My children respond to what I
say or ask of them. We are all much happier as a family and feel as though we
live together - not exist together. Life is much nicer!
The course is brilliant as it has improved me as a parent. The most
rewarding of all is the smile on my children's faces to see a mummy they can
love and be proud of just like the love I have for my children.
This course has been a revelation. It has taught me many things, which I
have passed on to my husband and also my children. They have noticed a change in
the way I treat them and react to situations. Fiona and Geoff have made the
course enjoyable and fun.
I have recommended this course to loads of people - it is brilliant.
I love taking my children out now and often get positive comments.
I had a difficult pregnancy and became very agitated/violent. Since being on
the course I don't even raise my voice.
The course has turned around me and my son's relationship and we've become a
lot happier at home and about. I feel a lot more confident as a parent and have
really enjoyed the course.
I think the come on everybody group is great. The whole team is amazing.
Thankyou for teaching me to love and appreciate my kids again.
The course has exceeded my expectations - and I feel I have learnt
techniques I will be able to use in the future for both my children.
Thanks for Ann for helping get Lydia to sleep through the night and thanks
to Ann and Sue for caring so much. I know it is your job to deliver the
training, but it feels like you really care above and beyond and that really
means alot.
When I first started the course I came with an open mind but I was sceptical
as to whether the techniques would have any effect on my son (special needs).
However, throughout the weeks I have incorporated the strategies into our
everyday lives and have been pleasantly surprised by their positive influence.
Connor has enjoyed doing sticker charts and looked forward to getting a surprise
out of "mummys bag!" I have benefited by getting positive and more appropriate
behaviours. The "ignore" works particularly well and I feel more empowered when
his tantrum fizzles out without my blood pressure hitting the roof along with my
temper. By seeing these techniques work has improved my confidence not only as a
mother but also as a person. I am a lot calmer although I do have blips!!....Ann
and Sue are two of the most positive people I have met. We all need to know that
we are doing a good job and they give you the support needed without you
thinking they are just selling you a line.
