Change Process: (self-reported)

A new comer to the class will seem unsure and worry that their parenting skills will be judged. They soon realize that we are there to love, guide and teach so they relax and begin to open up about their parenting, sex partners, dreams desires -- in fact, they allow us to become the mentor and friend. --- With the improvement of their self-esteem follows improved parenting skills.
