Where does true happiness come from? How can we encourage the development of living values like honesty and compassion in these challenging times?
This course is a great "how to" guide for making our home a safe haven for our children. The book was easy to read, the exercises and resources presented in class were fun and allowed us to learn from each other and share about our journey. I was able to experience that peace and harmony in my home does really start with me... such a beautiful support group.
