Our family life had become so overwhelming that we genuinely didn’t know where to turn. After longing to be parents for over twenty years, we found ourselves living a reality that felt nothing like the harmony we had imagined. I used to look at other families in restaurants, children sitting calmly, laughing with their parents and I felt such deep envy. Meanwhile, our home was ruled by chaos and misery. My natural instinct is to be soft, gentle, affectionate, and “kissy and gushy,” but I learned that while love is essential, children also crave rules and guidance.
We reached a point where things were so desperate that my husband even considered calling social services as our Son had become violent and destructive . We had tried every parenting strategy we could find, and nothing worked until Katherine stepped in. Even in our very first conversations, she made more sense than anything we’d heard before. She understood our situation immediately, anticipating my thoughts, my sentences, my worries.
“Katherine helped us break things down and address the real root causes. She gave us the tools, structure, and confidence to rebuild our family life from the ground up.”
Katherine helped us break things down and address the real root causes ,she gave us the tools, structure, and confidence to rebuild our family life from the ground up. We put our trust and faith in her guidance, and she was always there for us morning, noon, or night.
There were moments of criticism and judgment from family and friends who didn’t understand the approach we were taking. But all the methods we had tried before were only papering over the cracks. Yes, it took time. Yes, it took consistency. But with Katherine’s support, encouragement, and expertise, our son transformed, and so did we.
Today, we have a calm home, clear boundaries, mutual respect, and a child who loves us AND likes us.
Life is good again x
Katherine truly knows her work and is so informed about child behaviour. She is genuinely a lovely person. She has been a lifeline.
THANK YOU Katherine Elizabeth
