"Our experience with the TIES program has been life changing! We came to TIES seeking help to handle our daughter’s tantrums. We were literally at the end of our rope. Ties gave us tools and hands on training that actually worked! What we didn’t expect was how much this program not only helped our daughter but our entire family dynamic! Our stress and frustration has drastically diminished which has resulted in a more positive and happier environment!
Believe me when I say every parent should attend this class! Whether your child suffers from tantrums, to separation anxiety, to sleeping problems, etc. no matter what the problem is TIES can help!"

"Before TIES I felt like nothing I did was working. It made me feel like I wasn't a good mother because I couldn't control my own son. Now that I have been attending TIES I feel more confident about myself and being a mother. I know we still have a long road ahead of me, but now I have the confidence to take that long road." - TIES Parent (June, 2009)
"My child has shown a lot of improvement, and is listening better. He has shown a lot less destruction, better listening skills. I feel more confident in dealing with (TIES child) as well." - TIES Parent (January, 2010)
"I am so grateful I found TIES.Wow what a great boy I have! I now have the life I wanted with my son and family. I am loving it! We've come a long way, thank goodness I committed to TIES." - TIES Parent (October, 2009)
