What parents are saying
Our sessions were always so enriching in the moment and they made absolute sense — but where I struggled was putting it into practice. Now what? I know all this, but what do I actually do? The WhatsApp add-on changed everything for me. It's the bridge between the session and real life. It's been so, so helpful.
He threw something across the bathroom and I just picked it up and put it away. I didn't say anything. I didn't lose it. And later, just before bed, I told him calmly that I didn't appreciate it and that it could have hurt me. The shock on his face — and then he said I'm sorry, and you could tell he really meant it. I think Ela gave me the permission that it's okay to let things pass. And then come back to it.
If you had told me before we started that I would see results within 2 to 3 weeks of consistent coaching, I would have questioned it. I really would have. But I can't call it a coincidence anymore. I've seen so many examples now. It's so, so rewarding.
She used to wake up and go straight for her sister. Now she's asking her for a hug first thing in the morning. My husband noticed it too — and he sees them in moments I don't. I feel like she feels safer now. It's easier for her to say sorry, to admit when she's wrong. Before, if you pointed out her mistake she would explode even louder. Now I can actually feel her taking pride in herself.
I always knew timeouts don't work but I had nothing else. I felt like I had to react to bad behaviour immediately or I was letting it go. Now I know I don't have to. I can let the moment pass and come back to it later, calmly. That realisation alone has been really, really big for me.
It's not just my son who changed. His brother's reaction to him is kinder now too. My friend noticed it at a playdate — she could see it from the outside before I could even fully see it myself. And my husband keeps mentioning moments he's witnessing at home. It can't be a coincidence. Something has genuinely shifted in our home.
