Since doing the course I don’t feel like I’ve ever kind of hit the panic button as I use to … I just didn’t know what was going on. I feel I’m very much in tune with him now, and I really enjoy that … I feel I’m more sensitive. I know now he likes to be close and touchy. And it’s just brilliant. I can pick up on that now.

I am more patient with my daughter, I can diffuse potentially difficult situations more easily, and listen more

My daughter is a lot better at talking to me and we have a better relationship – everything has changed

I have a much calmer, tender approach to parenting. I feel much, much happier and am enjoying parenthood more than I thought possible.

I have learned that there’s not just one way of parenting, there isn’t a right way, as long as it’s good enough. It really has taught me and given me the confidence to be able to become a better mum

This group is the best thing that has happened to me and I would gladly come back to learn more

I think this course is brilliant, I want to use the word life-changing as so much has changed in such a short time.

This course has been an absolutely invaluable gift to me. It has and will change so many aspects of my life. I am undoubtedly a better parent and more rounded and fulfilled person as a result. Some aspects have literally been like ‘Eureka’ moments to me! I WISH I’d known all this years ago, but I am glad to have learnt it now at a crucial stage in my young children’s lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

A gentle but hugely influential course that has helped me in all aspects of communication, home work, and marriage. Very supportive atmosphere, many thanks.

Awareness of effectiveness of Solihull Approach

Brilliant concept and course

Excellent trainers – knowledgeable, attentive and supportive throughout

The training is useful in identifying what may be going on in emotional world of the child

Looking at containment/reciprocity of parent with child rather than jumping in with to change the child

I feel this course was excellent not only for a workplace point of view but also for my own personal and family outlook

Very useful in terms of theory and reflection time

Really enjoyed training
