"These parenting circles offer a safe space where I can share my problems with people who truly understand me. The best part is that I also learn to listen intently and communicate effectively from the circles - which I try to implement in my everyday life. That has drastically improved my relationships; I communicate with my children better and I deal with conflicts better!"
“I always sense a feeling of peace by the end of the session and I feel acknowledged, understood and instantly feel peaceful. I feel my stress levels just come down and there is this calming effect. It’s almost meditative and therapeutic."
“Parenting circles make me feel less lonely and helps me realise that there are others struggling with the same things. And together, through discussing experiences and techniques, valuable insights emerge that help us wonderfully solve our concerns!"
