We are very happy
It is really difficult to understand the kids sometimes. You will see they might be upset sometime without any reason, or start behaving strangely. That happens with every parent and we did face it too. Me and my wife, we have taken the course and hope it will help us to understand our kid better. We haven’t completed it yet but enjoying the course very much. Especially when the instructor describes exactly what our kid does, it’s surprising!
Amazing course from one education!
This is an extremely beneficial course for professionals like counsellors, therapists, babysitters, special child carers, SEN teachers and every other kind who work with kids. I would also recommend the course for the parents.
Fantastic course!
