 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 6 children, all of whom have been through a really tough divorce. Christine has shown nothing if not the most professionally presented structure to dealing with the ups and downs I've faced with the kids.

Each child requires their own type of parenting, which Chrisine was more than happy to navigate with me.

On a personal note, she's also helped me through my own traumas and responses. I maintain a persistent client and will do so for a long while to come. Christine helped me approach everything from new angles and listened to me with intent to assist.

I highly, highly, highly recommend Teaching Kids For Life for ANY parent needing an extra push or a new approach to tricky moments.

Mark.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I took the Love and Logic course with Christine two years ago, and it was truly transformative for our family. Christine’s warmth and empathy, coupled with her practical strategies, restored our confidence as parents. Now that our kids are teenagers, we've encountered new challenges.

When our younger son started high school, we also moved houses, which brought a lot of frustration for him and led to frequent meltdowns. Computer games became a significant problem and there were constant arguments among our kids, which turned our previously calm household into a chaotic one. This left us all emotionally exhausted and stressed. Desperate for help, I tried reaching out to a psychologist but received no response. Christine immediately came to mind.

Christine took the time to listen to our struggles and understand what our family was going through. After booking a session with her, I felt a profound sense of relief knowing we were getting the support we needed. Christine visited us and spent three hours with our family—one hour with each of our sons and another hour with my husband and me. Both of our boys quickly warmed up to her. They felt heard and understood as she empathetically listened and helped them work through their issues, coming up with realistic solutions together.

When Christine spoke with my husband and me, she shared her observations and insights from her time with our boys. Her perspective was incredibly valuable, revealing more than we had been able to uncover on our own. Together, we focused on our most pressing problems, and Christine provided us with practical strategies to address them. Over the next few weeks, we gradually introduced these changes, involving our kids in the process.

While we're still working through our challenges, we've become a closer family, learning to communicate our emotions more openly and finding more opportunities to connect. Screen time is now more manageable, and our kids understand their responsibilities as family members. The time we spent with Christine was invaluable—it was exactly what we needed to reset and move forward. We felt supported before, during, and after our consultation, with follow-up meetings that helped us refine our approach. I truly believe we couldn't have achieved this progress without Christine's help. Her customized consultation process has been incredibly effective for our family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were struggling with our 10 year old son and his behaviour. Everything we tried would never work, our house was becoming very unsettled and stressful.
Christine came highly recommended to us and she has been an absolute life saver.
We had several sessions with her to help us understand where our son was at and what we needed to say and do to put in positive boundaries.
She had just over an hour session with our son, she came out knowing more about where he was at than we ever could have. We were shocked but so relieved to know how he was feeling inside, we could then use Christine’s strategies to help reconnect with him.
She reminded us about self love and care which was so important for our own sanity. Our experience with Christine has brought peace and calm back into our house it is amazing! Something we will be so grateful for. For any families going through challenging times with their kids behavior I can’t recommend her high enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christine offers excellent parenting courses that I highly recommend. Her “Teaching Kids for Life” programs are a must for parents looking to equip themselves with invaluable insights and practical advice. Her personalized counselling and coaching sessions provide great value. Her online program, Crossing the River, is designed to equip parents with essential tools at their own pace. For those looking for in-person sessions, her Love and Logic courses are perfect for fostering positive relationships with kids while maintaining boundaries. Christine’s dedication empowers parents to thrive, and her courses, like “Calming the Chaos,” deliver lasting results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used to be an alumni of Helicopter Mum Anonymous. But after I met Christine I’ve experienced a huge amount of understanding and transformation. My default response to my children’s disobedience was explosive anger, frequent frustration, unchecked anxiety, unnecessary bribery and the like…

But I have learnt from Christine that only a calm parent can positively role-model, teach and influence their children. By remembering to take care of myself so I can manage my own emotions, offering my children choices and appropriate consequences has given all of us the time and space to learn and grow in resilience and responsibilities.

Parenting used to feel powerless and puzzling. But now I am less anxious, more in control and our home has never had so much love, joy, and peace.

Thank you for sharing so much wisdom from the Love & Logic course and your River of Hope program. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with your own parenting journey. And thank you for parting the clouds of confusion to show me that clarity and calmness is possible even for a former helicopter mum.

Put simply, every parent should complete this workshop with Christine.

I came to Christine – lost, exhausted, and all out of ideas on how to best support my son whilst he was facing a range of challenges. Every night I was enduring hours of protests, bedtime refusal, and emotional outbursts just to complete our regular routine of brushing our teeth and going to bed. I was then again met with the same level of meltdown every morning when having to get up and get ready for school. I was full of anxiety and dread all day just waiting for the next meltdown, the next slammed the door and the next lot of tears. It was exhausting and relentless.

Our home was not a happy one as I was frustrated, angry, impatient from being challenged by my son with every task being asked of him. I needed help, I needed strategies.

Christine came highly recommended and I immediately felt at ease from our first session. I was met with empathy, sincerity, and kindness like no other.

Week by week we worked through the Love and Logic course and week by week I could find my confidence as a parent slowly returning. I was given strategies that were achievable for me to implement and to my shock they worked!! and worked well!! What I loved most was Christine taught me not only how to implement positive and loving boundaries but also how to be a calm and empathetic parent.

My biggest takeaway is that my kids didn’t need me to solve their problems they just needed me to listen and hear their worries. Allowing them the space to do this has empowered them to work through their worries on their own with me being their biggest supporter from the sidelines. I cannot thank Christine enough for her guidance and knowledge. What she can offer to parents is truly priceless.

I could have gone on and on Christine! I honestly cannot thank you enough!!

It has given my husband and I a united strategy with parenting. It gives me hope that we can nurture our children to become more caring, self-aware of their emotions and confidence while bringing us closer as a family.

Feel more in control when our kids are acting out. Have a consistent approach that works for us and that our kids are responding well to. Has helped to foster a stronger family unit where every member of the household contributes.

I’m definitely looking at myself and my behaviour etc. I see a different perspective when problems occur and don’t make it my problem. Try to make my child take ownership of his own problem with more empathy.

I’m committing to alone time in the morning when there is less distraction and allows me to get in a better headspace to tackle the day.
