Testimonials

“We were delighted to support our whānau and the challenges they face in this modern technological age where information is so readily available that we wonder "what is expert advice?"

Brigitte guided our parents across a range of topics including social and emotional regulation, relationship building, and positive parenting strategies.  Our parents found the workshops helpful and enlightening and enabled them to make connections and share with one another creating a stronger sense of community.

As a teacher, Brigitte’s passion, and strength in supporting children, whānau and fellow teachers in the field of positive guidance and social/emotional competence development, was highly evident and I was delighted when she accepted my offer for her to join my team of programme facilitators, complimenting the team’s capacity immensely.  I was fortunate to collaborate for three further years with Brigitte and mentoring her through this process was an absolute pleasure. She has the ability to read the room very well and vary her delivery techniques and pace according to the dynamics of the group and relevant stakeholders and communities.  It is an honor to be able to connect with Brigitte now that she has embarked on this much needed and critical career path of further supporting whānau/parents/caregivers, which ultimately supports their tamariki and centre kaiako.

“I attended the  Positive Parenting workshops run by Brigitte. I found the content very useful and reassured as a parent knowing that everything that my child was experiencing was developmentally normal.

It’s hard as a parent to navigate the waters of your child’s behaviour and knowing the best ways to deal with it all. We live in a world where there is so much information it can fast become overwhelming but I felt that the Positive Parenting workshops were not overwhelming and left both nights feeling well-informed and more confident to tackle things with my son. Thank you Brigitte for giving me very helpful tools, confidence and simply making me feel less alone in dealing with some tricky behaviour.
