“Taking this class was a wonderful investment in my child’s future, which is in effect an investment in the future of us all.”
Ish Shabazz
Almost ten years ago I took a parenting course called Parenting From The Heart with Ty and Linda Hatfield that changed my life. We weren’t having any particular troubles as parents, but I was open to the idea that I could learn something. When I finished, I felt a weight had been lifted. Going on ten years later, I have a deeper, more trusting relationship with my teenage daughter than I would have ever thought possible. I’m a better father. I’m also a better husband and person. It was that good.
