If you answer yes to at least one of the questions below, then this course may be key to building the relationship you want with your children: Do you know in your bones that you want to build a relationship in which both your needs and those of your children are fully included? Are you tired of seeing yourself time and again using methods to get your children to "cooperate" that you don't actually subscribe to? Do you struggle to imagine how to find enough hours in the day to collaborate for real with your children? Do you brace for any conversation with extended family and community who criticize you for being too soft with your children?  Do you often feel all alone and wonder if you are actually on the right path?
