What our customers say
I reached out to David a few weeks ago at my wits and trying to figure out how to handle some, what I perceived to be out of control kids. I quickly realized that I was the out of control one, who was projecting that on to them. Since our conversation, and the advice he gave me, I’m amazed by the difference in my relationship with my kids now. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me and walk me through those issues.
