This online course, with IHF Executive Director Christopher Doyle, offers practical advice on how to increase love and understanding between you and your child, and what you can do to help your son or daughter grow. By following and implementing the strategies offered in this course, families have been healed and relationships restored. Please see the flyer below for more information, or click here!
Here are some stories from past participants:
I want to thank you for all the help you've given me up to this point. I can see my relationship with my daughter moving in a very positive direction, and a change in her; her anger is gone. It was also very nice to hear the other parent’s situations, a lot of the information was helpful for my situation. ~JM
Thank you very much for your wonderful coaching! We cannot wait for the classes to resume. The positive impact of the class on our family and our son is huge. We know where we are going, what the problem is and we have gained strength from every class. For the last two months the relationship between me and my son has improved 200%. Every week I see something new and promising in his self-perception. I thank God we found IHF. Intuitively I knew there must be a way to help our son and there is! ~ JZ
