“On behalf of our agency and staff, our community coalition of schools and community agencies, and our involved parents, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful three-day presentation you provided to our community. It was an enlightening experience for all that attended, and the huge turnout on the last day attested to the positive experience enjoyed by the initial participants as word spread throughout the community. Please know that we have incorporated many of your ideas into our strategies when working with parents and families, school personnel, and the courts.”

“Because the family ethos is one of mutual respect, we feel like a team, like 4 people who can depend upon each other who can call each other out with honesty, in a supportive way, when we are falling down on the job of contributing to the family. That is, in my mind the most important result that we have achieved as a result of Vicki’s class.”

—Katie Abbott, Professor Middlebury College

“Today I have an amazing relationship with my children. By learning more about what I am doing I have given my children opportunities to grow and learn in ways I would have never known. It’s all about 18 to 80. What skills will they have and how will they truly feel about who they are? I’ll be taking this class every year; it is a must maintenance for optimal FAMILY health.”
—Bridget Nardiello Smith, Artist, teacher, mother of 2

“You affect positively and your message may in fact be the most important on the planet! Can you imagine a family, or a school, or a town, or a state, or a nation, or a planet chock full of cooperative, responsible, and respectful people? On last Monday night, before I left for your class, my two-year-old daughter, Emma asked, “Are you going out to learn to be a better daddy? My only response was a simple, ‘Yes. Thank You.’ “
Sincerely,
—Dan Ober
