“Our children are our future. Your child is also your teacher. I hope this course will assist you to discover healthy and enjoyable ways of helping your child to unfold his potential for future tasks. Through these creating a peaceful harmonious environment, building a warm loving relationship, developing gentle, and comforting gestures, among other practical ways, you are also developing the many qualities that have so far stayed dormant in you. We need to constantly improve ourselves in order to ably accompany our child on his way to adulthood. He will be the first person to show us how to do that.” – Thanh Cherry
