Seit dem Kurs schreie ich kaum noch und merke, wie viel ruhiger es zu Hause geworden ist. Besonders die Ideen, wie man Kooperation statt Gehorsam aufbaut, haben unsere Abende verändert. Meine Kinder hören jetzt eher zu, weil sie sich verstanden fühlen.

أفادتني كثيرًا الأساليب العملية لكسب تعاون الأطفال بدل الصراخ، وصرت أهدأ في المواقف الصعبة. كنت أتمنى أمثلة أكثر للأطفال الأكبر سنًا، لكن بشكل عام الدورة غيّرت طريقتي في التربية وأنصح بها.
