I knew that if I ever had kids I didn’t want to do what my parents did. I had all sorts of bad parenting modeled for me. The trouble came when I actually had kids. I didn’t know what good things to do instead. So I found myself reacting to bad behavior in unproductive ways. Working with Marcilie and Lisa provided me with a whole new set of actions to try and perspectives to seek. We practiced techniques in class so that it would be easier to do them at home. I learned so much about myself and my children. I keep doing Roots so that I have a monthly reminder and check in because there are always new challenges and Marcilie and Lisa keep updating their information. It’s a great way to keep growing.
