Co-parenting Online Class

Comments from Participants
"This class is a jump start to a healthy divorce." 9/21/00, S. Stove

It was great! It’s about the child, and some times you have to make sacrifices for them. A.P. 4/5/08

Exceeded expectations. The victim-rescuer was valuable, I see I’ve been the rescuer. The course should be a part of pre-marriage training. L.B. 4/5/08

The class surpassed my expectations in that I felt I received a lot of insight into why we continually fall in to the same patterns. The child is always the most important thing no matter what. I really could have used this course 8 years ago when we divorced. J.P. 4/5/08

It exceeded my expectations, informed me of research and law in the courts today, information f what’s best for the children and how to achieve that. AS a student attending this class for a research paper, I will remember to take personal responsibility for myself and stay focused on that. I also learned how important it is to remember what other children are going through, and as a parent, helping your own children notice that and respect it. I feel this class should be used as a preventative method to co-parenting. Thank you! 4/5/08

Learned how to get along with his mother and raise our son. Brad, I really appreciate this experience and this opportunity to take this class. C.C. 4/3/08

Thought all was okay with my situation, bit of an eye opener. Learning more and more to be aware. Making better decisions. Recommend more publicity. C.G. 4/3/08

I learned about changing terms and thoughts. 3/20/08

Learned about the victim and rescuer roles, and the business relationship. I was enlightened in more ways that one! I learned that there are others that are/have been through the things I’m going through. L.M. 3/19/08

Course was excellent, Brad is well motivated and his presentation is interesting. I learned about relating to my kids in a co-parenting scenario. This course was not recommended to me till 2 years and $140,000 in legal fees spent. The court did not inform me of this ever! The second mediation made it part of our mediated agreement. I belive attorneys do not want clients to take this because their fees would be compromised. The court is negligent not to have clients take this course. J. Q. 3/19/08

The course met my expectations and I learned alternative choices. You can raise your child in two separate homes. Wonderful class!!! 3/19/08

I was hoping to learn more about the way the parents cause harm to the children and learn how to stop those behaviors, I did…this was really great. Some of the legal information I learned, the legal rights both parents have. I really enjoyed the class. I think it serves it’s purpose in helping parents understand their impact on the children. C.S. 3/8/08

I expected to gain tools and resources to help me to be a better parent and stepparent. Yes, this course helped. The information on alienation was valuable. I did not expect to get and learn about the knowledge of this class, it was very helpful in my situation. The most valuable was the rules, coo-parenting, me and the mother has no co-parenting skills. We can’t talk very well but you gave me advice on how to change the communication. I was very surprised on what I learn, and I will be taking more classes,. You talked a lot about my situation. 3/8/08

Put my child first, it’s all about the child. Great class!! 3/8/08

I expected to gain knowledge and learn how to make better decisions. With that said, I’ve gained much more than I bargained for. All the information was valuable and I hope to take it all with me and teach others. I enjoyed what I’ve been taught, I felt comfortable to talk about issues and the class was well worth the time and money. A.D. 3/8/08

Glad to attend to grasp better understandings of current situation, things to remember, live and carry out. To stay focused on our child, control emotions and remember choices made for the child. 03/05/08

I was expecting to be grilled on how to raise my son. Instead I was taught how to make better decisions and how to put our son first. I got way more than I expected. All the information provided was valuable. I will take all of the information provided with me and apply it to my life and decision making. I wish I would’ve taken this class before hand. This class was very helpful and useful. I would recommend this class to everyone who is having problems compromising. A.D. 03/01/08

This class was actually above what I expected. Most valuable, to remember to be careful of what I say in front of our children. M.K. 3/1/08

The course was really good, really helped me see some issues from a child side of view. I will try to do my best on remembering those for the best of my kids. 2/28/08

I learned how to interact with the other parent. Great class, it may need to be three classes instead of two just to have some time for more information. 2/28/08

I had to take a class like this 4 years ago and it was boring, and the presenters basically read from a script, so the whole time I was thinking just give me the script let me read it and go home. This class certainly kept me awake, Brad is dynamic, passionate, and really seems dedicated to helping us co-parent and change our conflictual ways of thinking to focus on the child rather than the old "intimate" relationship. Focus on being parents not ex's. Gave me real tools and alternatives to being back in court. Wish I'd taken this class 4 years ago instead, it would have helped R. P. 2/28/08

Helped me be a better parent, making sure I don’t alienate. L.B. 2/28/08

I had not expectations walking in, surprised at how informative is is and how much I’ve enjoyed it. The most valuable was the behavioral aspects/personality analyzers. 1/25/08

This course was excellent. Children at age 12 deciding where to live implications, coping skills, and problem solving. I hope my children’s other parent attend this class. 1/26/08

I’m very satisfied with the class…all parents should take this class even if not divorced. I learned ways to talk to my child and different types of way to handle things. I am very pleased I have had the chance to take this class… I would recommend this class to anyone in my situation or not. 1/26/08

This course exceeded my expectations. Communication is key. Thank you! 1/26/08

I simply expected to learn and this class exceeded my expectations. Simply be more attentive to the children’s needs. 1/25/08

I expected to learn how to co-parent. This course was exceeded my expectations. Put my children first and not my feelings. Also want to resolve this out of court. Thank you for this course. It was an eye opener for me. 1/25/08

This is an excellent course, I think it would benefit all parents whether the marriage is dissolving or not. It goes miles in to helping parents gain a better understanding of what children are facing, feeling, dealing with in a world that tends to unconsciously treat kids as second class citizens. 1/24/08

This class helped me understand some of the issues my husband and my stepson’s mom are dealing with. I am not a child of divorce and co-parenting was not something I had any experience with in the past. I think this class will help me play a supportive role as a stepparent. 1/24/08

I expected to be presented with tools to become a better co-parenting and how to be their more for our kids. Yes, it did meet those expectations. The examples presented were very insightful and useful. I also liked the videos of the prospective of the judges and attorneys. 1/24/08

I expected to gain knowledge of becoming an effective co-parent: this course was helpful in meeting these expectations. All of the information was insightful and valuable. Great class! 1/24/08

Most valuable, new perspective! 1/24/08

Expected to learn more about how to have a better and healthy co-parenting relationship and also how to make things easier and better for my stepson. This course was very helpful and full of information. No matte what it costs, we the supposed to be grown ups need to do what’s best for the child’s interest. Thanks, Brad, you made this course interesting and full of good and important information. I personally think that at the start of divorce people should have to take some kind of a course like this one, it would avoid lots of problems and would tell parents how to act to protect the well being of their kids. J.S. 1/24/08

I learned to communicate with the other parent in the best interest of our child. The child belongs to both parents, “Our Child.” Great class, presenter is very energetic and knowledgeable. 1/24/08

Great explanation of situations, and very relatable information. Brad’s delivery is lively, creative, interactive, and direct. I highly recommend this course!!! As a child of divorce, I really wish my parents would’ve had this as a resource, it would’ve saved me lots of $ in therapy and my relationship with my parents. 1/24/08

I learned a lot, and how to work with the father of "our" child. Thank you for the information. 1/18/08

I wanted to know more of what's best for my child, and this class met that. I learned that the aprents have to do what's best for the child no matter what and not let others take you off course. S.M. 1/18/08

I wish it were longer, I learned so much about how to talk to my children. I liked the explanation of why we are divorcing. C.T. 1/18/08

I wanted to learn how to work together in the best regards of the child, and I did. Howe to work together as parents with the child's best interest and everything else aside. 1/18/08

I learned how to deal with the feelings and emotions I have towards the other parent and focus on "our" child. I learned how to handle my problems dealing with divorce in an adult manner. 1/18/08

My expectations were that I would be provided information to asist with positively communicating with the other parent. Yes, my expectations were met. The most valuable was that my child is not property. I enjoyed the cclass and I believe parents should be assigned to attend this course before child custody issues evolve.

Stop blaming it on the other parent, stop blaming it on the judge and attorneys, start taking responsibility for my own actions. I picked her to be the mom to my son. This class was incredible, I really have changed the way I think about my relationship with my wife, to see her now as my son's mom not my soon to be ex. Without the humor I might not have been able to listen, you present the class in a way that is so direct, but with the humor it really makes it easy to recognize the ways you can change. I was really offended being ordered to this class, I'm glad the judge ordered me anyway, she said you would help and you did. I hope we can resovle our son's issues out of court now. 1/11/08

We are not divorced yet and we both want to do what is best for our children. This course helped. Seeing what parenting issues I will face once we divorce was helpful. 1/11/08

I did not know what to expect. I was surprised by this course. I learned how to be a co-parent, and how to start. 1/11/08

We are doing a collaborative divorce. The course guided me on how to help us throught the divorce process. I enjoyed the information about other resources-books/websites. 1/11/08

I learned to handle the other parent better. To try and talk and work things out like adults. 1/11/08

I wish this class was longer. I learned how to be a better father. I learned what I have been doing to hurt our child. 1/11/08

I wish this class was required in the first 30 days of a divorce that is filed. M.S. 12/27/07

It's all about the child, not you! 12/27/07

I gained self-awareness about certain behaviors I did not see in myself before. 12/27/07

I learned how to make a child's life who's parents are divorced better, and help him on how to be healthy. Learned abouta child's feelings, and how to help him with them. Children need to be protected from disputes from their seperated parents at any price. Great presentation and lots of very usefull and important information. O.D. 12/27/07

I learned how to get along with the other parents, and the kids. Be flexible, understand it form a kid's perspective and be positive. 12/27/07

I expected to learn more about step-family roles and I did. Learened to think "what is best for the children." Best class-and presenter! 12/27/07

This segment of the class was the most informative and helpful in dealing with my situation. The best interest of my child will be my top priority. Thank you for the great presentation. 4/26/07

I am ashamed with myself. I was always so focused with the other parties negative actions, I was doing so many negative things myself. I will focus more on being a person my child loves to be around because I am positive. A.N. 4/26/07

Class was great! C.H. 4/26/07

Great class-time flew by- Really opened my eyes, mind, heart to the real feelings about the children in the middle. C.K. 4/26/07

Again, I’m glad I attended these classes. They have definitely opened my mind more about my situation. I thank you, I think your doing a wonderful job. And I’m certain now the choice I’ve always thought was the right one, is definitely the right one. C. T. 4/26/07

I wish I had known not only about this class sooner, but also all the options that are available instead of constantly fighting in court and dealing with that stress. The class was very informative and was presented in an easily understood manner. The video clips from the judges and children shed some light on my personal issues. 4/19/07

I look forward to part II- I saw myself in some of the information/descriptions and my spouse in others. I hope he will be receptive of the information as it is presented. 4/19/07

Thank you! It was much more emotionally difficult than expected-but that’s good! 4/19/07

This segment of the class was the most informative and helpful in dealing with my situation. The best interest of my child will be my top priority. Thank you for the great presentation. 4/26/07

I’ve learned a lot today. I hope my other party comes here too, so we can be on the same level to raise our daughter the best that we can. A.N. 4/19/07

I didn't want to come to this class, and I just want to say I’m glad I was ordered to take this class. It has brought light to a lot of things I’ve been pondering. It has really made me think about all of the aspects of my situation, and I’m seeing a lot of things a new, better way. I’m glad I spent 3 hours listening to you. C.T. 4/19/07

I wish this class was offered in Collin County. It was very informative and entertaining. Thank you! C.H. 4/19/07



2004 to 3-2007, the course was taught through an independent organization and those reviews are not available on this site.

2003
I enjoyed the class very much and it gave me a lot of insight on what to expect. 9/10/03

I think this class is wonderful. It can help you a lot in many different situations. The instructor was very helpful. Thanks Children in the Middle. 9/10/03

I think this class can help anyone in these situations. I'm very happy that it came because it gave some pointers in my situation. Thanks guys! 9/9/03

The class has really opened my mind and eyes to get a better relationship with my children. 9/9/03

Excellent. Enjoyed the presentation. Useful +++ 9/9/03

Perfect real home-hitting references, discussions, and solutions encompassing and recognizing personal situations and realities. It is time to "grow up," be respectful of one another, and stop the blame game for the children. K. B. 9/6/03

I really dug the class. It helped me see other people's positions and how they're "supposed" to act towards and with the child. 9/6/03

It is a good program. It should be included in high school curriculum. 9/6/03

It think every family with children should be required to take this. These classes before filing for divorce. S. B. 9/6/03

I feel a lot of this information I know, but it helped open my mind to more information and other ways of thinking of what I know. K. B. 9/6/03

I wish I had known about this course when I was first separated. There was a lot of great information. Thank You! L. T. 9/4/03

Why isn't it required that coparent classes be taken when a divorce is filed? Do this before you get too deep into the litigation path. 9/4/03

We are the grandparents of a 5 1/2 year old...many of your examples have really hit home in our situation. 9/4/03

Great info!! I wish that there was another couple of hours for discussion/group therapy. J. P. 9/4/03

Keep up the good work! You were informative and kept our attention. I know that you have made a difference in other's lives. 9/4/03

Brad presented material very thorough. He answered question I had as far as mediation. The information was great. I am going to attempt mediation. I want to coparent for our daughter's best interest. S. W. 9/4/03

The humor really helped solidify the information. Also, the two team approach made the time go by a little easier. 9/2/03

Very good course, needs more time. 9/2/03

Wealth of information learned and prior mistakes will be past history as far as what not to say to my child. Eye opening how little seemingly harmless questions or behavior are undermining to a child. Again, thank you for your passionate presentation. 8/28/03

Great Job! Fantastic course, I agree totally. 8/28/03

I really didn't want to attend a 6 hour class, but the time really flew by 8/28/03

I really wasn't looking forward to coming to this class. But as I sat through it I realized that it was very helpful and I think all divorced parents should have to take this class. 8/28/03

I am glad both parents have to attend this class, because sometimes we don't always realize what we are doing. I know that I am guilty of some things in the past that I didn't think was hurtful at the time, and so has my spouse. Negative comments, etc. 8/28/03

Thank you, kept me awake! Bravo, Great class-very surprised. Thanks again. K. S. 8/28/03

Great class and info. Excellent presentation. C. S. 8/28/03

Again, my ex has said he will not take this course, even though he was court ordered. I think it only helps if both attend! Good course, very informative. I came in with a very negative attitude about this course, but found it very, very helpful! J. H. 8/28/03

Thank You! 8/27/03

It was very helpful for me. 8/27/03

My choice of words or the manner in which I make statements could be better worded in some cases. R. S. 8/27/03

Yes, this class has really helped and opened my eyes and mind. 8/26/03

Very well presented. Hats of to you Brad. 8/26/03

Excellent class. 8/26/03

I enjoyed the class and it actually made me feel a little better about my and our child's situation. 8/26/03

Very well done- Topics great! 8/26/03

This class helped me learn a lot about helping my child feel that they have two homes and that we need to meet the child's needs first. Thanks! You are a great speaker. 8/21/03

I really enjoyed your classes. I have learned a lot! You are a great instructor. A. 8/21/03

Excellent presentation skills. Not bored even a second. I hope the other parties take this course. 8/21/03

Very informative. 8/21/03

Liked the knight in shining armor and the stages of grief presentation. 8/19/03

Brad, you are energetic. Good imitation of examples. Passionate about your subject. Came here thinking it was going to be a drag. Quite the opposite, very refreshing. STAY PASSIONATE. Thank you. J. R. 8/19/03

I've been separated since 1996, we have 3 kids together. Now that we are getting a divorce, this course provides options that I can use to work with the kids mom for our kids benefit. 8/19/03

Good use of media (TV) with live presentation. 8/19/03

I enjoyed part I much more than part II. The mechanics of the rescuer-victim environment that we need to grow out of these dysfunctions was most relevant. To me it leads to the ability to forgive and allow the children's interest to be the prime objective of the parent' discussions. Some of the information needs to be available to people on the front end of entering in to a relationship. The problem is most of us are only exposed to these concepts and principles when we are in the middle of conflict. This is truly a shame. C. B. 8/19/03

Great class. I think every parent should take this class even if they are not going through a divorce because the situations usually happens even in the family that is not divorced. 8/16/03

I enjoyed these two classes. You gave me some excellent advice and information and knowledge. Thanks. You did an excellent job presenting these classes. What a fast speaker! The money I spent for these two classes was worth every cent for the vast amount of information. Thanks again! 8/16/03

Information given out fast and it is good-positive information. J.W. 8/16/03

Good information. R. W. 8/16/03

Very good presentation and realistic examples. 8/16/03

This course has been very beneficial. 8/16/03

Made me think about psychological effects upon child and potential long range effects certain actions may have into the child's adult life. 8/16/03

Very informative and will aid me in becoming a better parent/coparent. 8/16/03

Target specific. Want more info. on pushing buttons.8/14/03

I learned a lot and I am looking forward to class 2. A. 8/14/03

Excellent class, too short, and should pass out video's viewed during the course, even if it raises the price of the course. 8/14/03

Enjoyed the class. 8/14/03

Brad seems to be very knowledgeable about this and I learned quite a lot at this first session. T. G. 8/14/03

I wish I would have known about this class sooner. I will suggest this class to others. 8/14/03

Interesting workshop...very animated presenter. 8/14/03

I enjoyed the stories and was able to relate them to my situation. 8/13/03

My wife needs to come. It was very clear and helpful to me all the things you showed me. 8/13/03

Exceptionally informative. 8/13/03

This class was a big help! I learned a lot. Thanks. 8/13/03

Very informative. It has changed my perspective on standard visitation. 8/13/03

Very informative, made me think about my situation completely different. Thank you! 8/13/03

Class was very informative and helpful. Good resources and ideas for direction to go next. 8/7/03

A lot of information was given - some things were explained that I now understand better - it all goes back to the child - the child must be first - it is all about what is best for the child. R. W. 8/7/03

This class should be required for parents to take this a lot sooner, perhaps when one or the other files for divorce, to prevent some of these issues from happening. This has helped a lot. Thank you. S 8/7/03

I took part II first - I have already recommended the class to my parents. Thank you for good information that I know has changed the way I operate. I believe if my former spouse will use the lessons, we are on the road to recovery. 8/7/03

This class has informed me greatly. I am the stepparent and would be willing to help both parents try to agree on things outside of the course if all parties would utilize this information given from the course. The father and mother definitely need to find a place where they can meet in the middle. I believe they could do it if they both put their differences aside. 8/7/03

I agree that it would benefit for both parents to attend the class together. You should include this on the recommendation. 8/7/03

I wish this type of class had been available when my parents divorced! I truly hope the folks attending this class will pay attention and make changes. 8/7/03

I enjoyed this 2nd part of the class. The instructor presented his information really good. I tried to put myself back to being a child and now I will remember how I felt when I am around my children, when things happen. Thank you so much for having this class. 8/5/03

I really enjoyed this class. It was very helpful for being a stepmother of three children. I feel I can take a lot of the information that I learned and help better the relationship between the kids and their parents. I truly hope their mother will come and take the knowledge I have received and apply it. This class, I believe, will help make me a better stepmother. 8/5/03

Thank you! This class has taught me a lot of life long lessons-not just pertaining to parenting. 8/2/03

Instructor was wonderful and brought a lot of things to my attention. I now know in order to do what is best for my kids, I need to get past my anger and work for the kids. I can and will be the person to step forward to get the ball rolling. Thank you! L. R. 8/2/03

This class helped me out on how I can help my children through our separation. I think every parent should take this class. 8/2/03

Great information! I wish I'd heard about this class when we began having trouble. I'm going to suggest my children's mother take the class as well. We should be able to work together and I believe that this class can help us do it. Personally, I know the information will make me a better dad for our kids. J. S. 8/2/03

I am glad I attended this coparenting class. It showed me how to talk to the grandparents. It also helped me to deal with our situation in a better way. The program helped me. I hope the grandparents go to the same class, because it helped me a lot. J. W. 8/2/03

Attorneys should recommend this before initial appointment. Should happen before temporary hearing. 8/2/03

Great class, but with all the information it needs to be longer. 8/2/03

Thank you! 7/31/03

I wish the other significant other and I could of been encouraged to take this coparenting class prior to the final divorce. 7/31/03

Excellent presentation! 7/31/03

Examples were great. I don't have my own children so some of the examples made me see what I need to work on. I was trying to put a time limit on him fixing the 5 year old from trying to sleep with him. I learned it needs to be fixed at the other house. She is used to sleeping with her stepsister so of course she would not want to be by herself at his house. It's the little things you don't think of. 7/31/03

...I did appreciate the way Brad led the class and encouraged our participation. Too bad we did not know about CITM a year ago; it could have saved us all a lot- for what you do, thank you! 7/24/03

I had coparenting w/ Barry Coakley and benefited greatly. This course (the Children in the Middle course) was fantastic for just 2 days. My evaluation is also based on having the training before. Thank you so much. 7/29/03

Great class! 7/24/03

Appreciated referral to other resources. Really like "time of responsibility" instead of "period of possession." 7/23/03

This class is full of so many options for resolving conflict. It's too bad that this class is not mandatory to take before being able to file for divorce or before a court date will be set. 7/23/03

Excellent presentation. Brought up issues that I was not aware could be a potential problem. I might be beneficial to have an extra 30 minutes to the presentation just to ask questions. 7/19/03

You are a very good speaker and keep it very interesting! 7/19/03

You did a great job and I like your past experiences. Thanks! 7/19/03

I feel this coparenting course is very helpful and should be recommended more to parents. 7/19/03

This class is wonderful. I have learned so much about how my children see things. I t will enable me to change my ways. 7/19/03

A very well taught class. Helped me understand more about this stuff. 7/19/03

I look at a lot of things different now. I sure hope my wife gets the same presenter that I did. Thanks. J.G. 7/17/03

I enjoyed this class and look forward too part 1. 7/17/03

Mr. Craig has a wonderful teaching style. Meets needs of all types of learners. Class was very "eye opening." T. B. 7/17/03

Very informative. I wish I had known about this class earlier in the game. 7/17/03

Didn't want to come, glad I did. J. G. 7/15/03

Makes me feel better about the future of my ex-wife and children. 7/15/03

Opened my eyes. I thought I was being fairly reasonable and consistent in my requests and expectations concerning our daughter. I now realize that there our many other avenues that I need to explore. Great class! R. H. 7/15/03

Very informative to know or realize that the spouses (parents) can control the situation and not give the courts or attorneys ultimate responsibility that affect our children. 7/15/03

I really learned a lot of things I did not know about going through a divorce. After tonight I will and going to change the way I look at things and our child. 7/3/03

Helps me realize a lot of my anger towards my parents and things to do to change so my children don't feel anger about me. A. S. 7/3/03

Enjoyed the presenter- wish there was more time to discuss examples. 7/3/03

Talk a little faster :) Actually, your presentation was perfect, the speed kept it from being boring. I hope our children's mother attends. R. W. 7/3/03

Thank you to get me some idea to deal with the other parent. S. C. 7/3/03

I want to thank instructors about information I got. S. C. 7/1/03

Was very pleased with the course and thought the information was very helpful. 7/1/03

Really helped me to understand a lot more of what a child really goes through or even how they truly feel. 7/1/03

Outstanding presentation, wish I'd been instructed to attend earlier instead of waiting. It could have saved a lot of heart ache...and money. 7/1/03

Mr. Craig instructed the class very well. I learned stuff I didn't know and will benefit from this class. 6/26/03

I've learned that me and the other parent have to look at our children's needs. We have to communicate because we don't and I didn't realize how important it was. 6/26/03

Thank you for giving me insight on what "everyone" who is going through a divorce might be thinking. 6/26/03

Excellent! 6/26/03

Very good speaker! Good knowledge. B. Z. 6/26/03

Enjoyed the class thoroughly. 6/26/03

I think this was great. I learned a lot. I hope and wish my wife learns something from this course also. 6/26/03

Full of useful information. I see more clearly where mistakes are made. 6/19/03

This class was AMAZING!!! I will take it every 3 months to refresh the topics to stay on top of the lesson as long as Mr. Craig teaches it... J. A. 6/19/03

I like your personal style of presentation. Your stories and comparisons were very helpful. Thanks! 6/19/03

Helped me see what others was doing wrong and reinforced me. 6/19/03

Good job. The class moved along quickly. 6/19/03

I never have intentionally involved the children in what's going on nor talked about it in from of them. But I have intentionally done things that could be considered alienation of another parent and this will stop. My needs don't supercede the children's and I have put my needs first and convinced myself it was for the kids. This will change. Thank you. 6/19/03

I took class II first but feel this would have been better to attend first and early in my divorce process. 6/19/03

Enjoyed the lecture. Material was helpful. 6/19/03

I enjoyed the class and do recommend this program to families. 6/19/03

Good information. I will do everything I can to stop litigation and resolve the coparenting issues with my wife. 6/11/03

Great class. I appreciate the honest responses. 6/11/03

The class peaked my interest in learning more about how the divorce process affects children. 6/11/03

Thanks for letting me see my child's point of view. 6/7/03

Outstanding presentation; very straight forward. 6/7/03

This class is helpful. I have been at it twice now and have learned something each time. Some of the information is common sense, but I realize it is not always followed. 6/7/03

Very positive-new and improved ideas on dealing and handling the situation-I'll recommend this highly!! 6/7/03

Great class- I wish I took the class before divorce. I think this class not only for divorcing families but for all family members so that parents have better view on parenting. 6/7/03

Good class. Helped me see I am trying to do what is the right thing for my husband and our child. Thank you. 6/7/03

"Thanks", you opened my eyes to some of the situations I have been in and how I have been reacting. I'll try to do better. 6/7/03

Video's were very good. Professionally done. Good information. You held interest during the whole period- good presentation skills. 6/7/03

Really like watching the kids responses to different divorce situations. 6/7/03

The class has helped me realize things I've done wrong and things I've done right with respect to the children. 6/5/03

It was positive how you represented all sides and didn't spend to much time on one opinion. Some info. was a real reality check. Most of it hit close to home and is closely related to modern topics. 6/5/03

This is a great class. 6/5/03

Thanks for the assurance and valuable information. You are hilarious :) 6/5/03

Needs softer chairs, everything else was great!!! Thank you. J. C. 6/5/03

Exceptional class. Wonderful. Great. I needed class years ago. Thank you! 6/5/03

Thanks for stressing mediation. 6/5/03

I enjoyed your humor because this time is tough enough. Humor helps. Thanks. 6/5/03

Grandparent-The humor made things more relaxed. 6/5/03

Connected the behavioral dots of personal behavior and how it can affect the children involved. Great presentation. 6/5/03

You are very knowledgeable about your topic and your passion for families shines through. I found the class informative and the fast pace kept my attention. 6/5/03

First time speakers have made so much sense and so clear. 6/5/03

I feel I have gained a lot of insight by taking this class. I will now know what direction to take. Thanks! 6/5/03

I felt like most or all of your examples was my wife's mind set, I realize I need to change my reactions to her actions. Thanks. 6/5/03

Good job! You both do an awesome job at presenting this information. Needs to be given before marriage. 6/3/03

Very good. Thank you. 6/3/03

Class was common sense, but is something that needs to be reminded to parents again. It was also helpful from the view of a stepparent in a coparenting situation. J. W. 6/3/03

I wish this course would be mandated to all parents who are divorcing so as to change many behaviors before they become problems and cost lost of money in litigation. 6/3/03

I wish someone had recommended this course 2 years ago before we got this far. Very informative. Thanks! 6/3/03

This helped me realize no matter what the child's well being comes first and parents must communicate amicably. 6/3/03

Good class. Thought of things I hadn't thought of before. 6/3/03

Very informative. B. E. 6/3/03

I do look at what the best interest of the kids are and I do many things you talked about, I will do better for the kids. Thanks for 2 great classes. 5/28/03

What a great class! I liked all the analogies and stories. Thanks! I leave with a lot of info. to think about to strengthen my coparenting skills. :) Mr. Craig is extremely knowledgeable and utilizes the 3 hours very efficiently. 5/28/03

Great sense of humor. 5/28/03

I thank you for all the information you have given me. You know my ex husband took this class first and it looks like he became a different person because this helped him to focus only on his children. Now it helps me to agree with him on our issues. M. F. 5/27/03

Speaker was very good speaker. I learned a lot from the coparenting class. 5/27/03

Thank you. The class was really informative. D. M. 5/27/03

Learned a lot, and fun! Not what I expected. 5/27/03

Both presenters were very knowledgeable and provided many examples of what to do and not to do. They also incorporated humor and human factors in their presentation. 5/27/03

Good class. Needs to be a little bit longer. Good information. 5/22/03

I feel I have learned that I can respect my two daughters, and understand what they are going through. 5/22/03

Great class. Very informative. 5/22/03

I hope the mother of my stepson attends this class. It really is beneficial. 5/22/03

My husband has decided to drop custody pursuit and has been much more cooperative. We are focusing primarily on the kids now. J. R. 5/21/03

Thank you! 5/20/03

This class was very informative. I wish that this was brought to parents attention when they first entered into court. We settled in mediation after every avenue the court offered a year and a half later. Thanks for the information. K.C. 5/20/03

Should advertise this class to help coparents work things out without losing so much money. Very good class. Very informative. 5/20/03

Thank you! 5/20/03

Really good class. A lot of information. It would benefit both exes for them to attend the same class at the same time. A big help. Thanks. 5/20/03

I think it would be beneficial for both parties and all involved to attend same class, same day if at all possible. That way same info. same instructor. Great job! 5/20/03

Very informative, offers insights and solutions. Very Helpful. 5/17/03

I understand why you speak so fast. To get all the information out to us. I think the class was great... D. M. 5/17/03

I wish my spouse will take this class. 5/17/03

I really enjoyed the class, and I will take some of the suggestions and implement them in my home. The class really made me think. Thanks for a great class. 5/15/03

Facilitator was very knowledgeable and presented subject matter in a professional way. 5/15/03

Very well presented and organized. 5/15/03

Great Job! 5/15/03

I appreciate all that you have done for others and what you do now as well. Thanks for your enthusiasm and caring heart. 5/15/03

Was very knowledgeable with a lot of helpful information. K. G. 5/14/03

I found the course very informative. Will definitely suggest this course to others. I will probably seek more classes. D. C. 5/14/03

Thanks, this was a great deal of knowledge for me that I can use in my situations. 5/13/03

Very informative. I enjoyed the class. Thank you. 5/13/03

This class really helped me a lot. You all answered all my questions I had. I really enjoyed it. There was many things that I didn't think I needed to know, but I really did. Thank you. I now know that I 've been doing very well. Thank you. 5/13/03

I would like to make this class a prerequisite before taking any DMS-mediation sessions. Prerequisite before marriage licenses are issued to every and anyone. Very educational, I will suggest my friends and people in the children's life to take this class. 5/8/03

Brad, this was a fabulous class! I wish it had been suggested originally. We will be back. I hope we can come to a united front, M_____ deserves it. M. N. J. 5/8/03

This guy was fantastic! Great communicator, great orator, one word AWESOME. J.T. 5/8/03

I enjoyed this class. 5/8/03

The nest egg story really helped me to look at myself. 5/8/03

Thank you! 5/8/03

Very helpful, changed my thought patterns. 5/8/03

The course was very interesting. I wish my other half was here, it would help. 5/8/03

Liked hearing more about the role of the mediator. 5/8/03

Excellent!!! Walter and Brad are excellent on the child's subject. Especially with the views of other people not saying things about the other parent in front of the kids. They made this course enjoyable. J. F. 5/6/03

Great course- wonderful insight into feelings, situations, actions, and reactions from a child and parent's perspective. I need to put all of this great info. into action. 5/6/03

Looking forward to seeking mediation for help in getting our children out of the middle. T. G 5/6/03

I wish I could have know about this class before we have put our kids through this mess. V. R. 5/6/03

Very Good information. 4/9/03

The course gave good information. 4/9/03

The class was very helpful and made me realize how important communication is between me and the father to best benefit our child. 4/9/03

Very thorough, good explanations on topics. 4/9/03

Reminded me of how my mother used me to get back at my father. 4/9/03

The child is 17 years, he will be 18 in 5 weeks. This course is great for people with younger children or couples that have never gone through this before. It would have helped if we had this at the time of the original in 1987. This course would have helped the situation over the years that developed. S. C. 4/9/03

Although our daughter is only 10 mo., I found Part II very helpful. It made me realize that some things I thought I was doing out of love weren't the best for her. It helped reinforce what I knew was right, but had ignored. 4/9/03

I volunteered to attend for support of my husband. However, I have two children whom I have custody Their father lives in Florida. This really helped me to understand the 5 stages of grief that can repeat during different times in their life. It also helped me to feel good about how their dad and I have been communicating even though he's a distance away. N. P. 4/9/03

I really liked and learned a lot from this class. E. P. 4/9/03

This class encouraged me to be more objective about our situation. I'll be easier to work with because of this class. 4/5/03

This is an exceptional program. We all are graceful - your "vision"...now impacts the improved quality of life for our children. 4/5/03

I'm very glad both of us had to attend this class. It will help me realize our goal because sometimes it gets lost in the fog. Hopefully she will recognize me a his father and want to work with me. I am happy to get the information about alternate forms of resolution. Le. R. 4/5/03

As a grandparent who is dealing with a daughter with a drug problem-the victim part opened my eyes. I truly thought it was something I did. This class just helped me strengthen our resolve to worry about the child (our granddaughter) & let the adult (our daughter) worry about her problems. 4/5/03

The co dependent information was very interesting. I also liked the story about beautiful baby Bobby. This is definitely what all divorced parents and stepparents need to maintain healthy relationships. N. P. 4/5/03

This class was very good and helpful. D. P. 4/5/03

This class was unbelievable. I am speechless. I have learned so much and feel like a different person. Mr. Craig, this was just great. Thank you! M. S. 4/3/03

I know it is better to work together-put your pride and uncomfortable feelings behind you. The children are such a gift, don't throw it away. You only get one chance to do it right. Put the time and money back into the child's life. Learn to forgive before it's too late. M. G. 4/3/03

I thought that this class was very educational and even went by faster than I thought, thanks to you. 4/3/03

I admit I was pissed I was ordered to attend this class. But this was awesome! We are back for one of those modifications you talk about and we actually attended another course like this in Dallas when we were first divorcing. It was nothing like this and I wish we'd had this class back then. This was way better and actually motivated me to change. I just hope she comes. 4/3/03

Great class! I agree whole heartedly that mediation or other forms of communications are best. I can't wait till part II comes around. 4/3/03

After 17 years of divorce, this class was helpful to know where each of us did wrong. A course like this should have been offered earlier in my situation. It is something that is needed by parents. 4/3/03

Learned a lot! 4/3/03

He did a really great job. It was very informative and I learned about how to appropriately work with the children. 3/27/03

My divorce started 21 months ago, I wish I would have been advised to attend this course back when it all started. 3/27/03

Very informative on helping make coparenting choices. I'm glad I attended this course. Gave me a different view on some of the choices I have made. 3/27/03

This class really helped me notice that you and the other parent need to reconcile differences and do for the children as needed. Always look at things form a child's point of view. 3/27/03

I enjoyed Part I and Part II. Unfortunately the father I chose for my children turned out to be abusive and mentally ill so it will be a long time before I can coparent with the children's father. I am hopeful that when the courts say he is rehabilitated we can successfully coparent. At that time I would like to take this course again for both of us. I also took the Family First Seminar ordered by Dallas County and I prefer this course. 3/27/03

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the subject. 3/27/03

This class was very informative and the instructor presented in a way with many examples that everyone in the class was able to benefit from. 3/27/03

GOOD CLASS! 3/26/03

Excellent class! Learned how to cope with my situation the right way. Don't have the anger I came in with. D. L. 3/26/03

Very good! 3/26/03

I found this class to be very informative and the speakers were knowledgeable of family issues. 3/26/03

I was very impressed with the facilitators professionalism and candor. 3/26/03

This type of class should be mandatory once the divorce is filed rather than waiting after it is final. Great class! A. O. 3/24/03

This was a very helpful & informative session. I feel this will help my ex-husband and I make two good homes for our son. 3/20/03

Every adult should take this class and we should also educate our counselors in the school system by having them understand some of our children who are facing divorce-separation, etc. I also think all attorney's should take this class too. If their sending their clients, (if their not, they should). R. C. 3/20/03

The course showed the children's views very well. Learning the correct words to say is very helpful. 3/20/03

I really enjoyed this class! I wish my parents would have been required to take classes like this. Life wouldn't have been so hard. 3/20/03

Very energetic, charismatic. Keeping positive aspects of situations instead of focusing on negative situations. 3/20/03

This was a very informative and helpful course and I can see the benefit it would have for people in conflict...it was a pleasant experience. M. B. 3/18/03

The presentation was very excellent. I learned a lot form this class and intend to try and work towards a better future for the two children that I do love and care about. 3/18/03

I was a little discouraged about some of the information, ex: domicile restrictions. I came with and open mind and I have been enlightened about litigation. I don't agree with all of it, but I am interested in mediation. R. C. 3/18/03

Talking about a good reason not to move was explained very well since I had no idea why the judge ordered me not to move out of Tarrant County. Thank You. Keep up with the good presentations! 3/18/03

I truly enjoyed the class. They made it both informative and interesting by sharing stories. 3/18/03

Wish I would have taken this class before this mess got started. 3/18/03

Thanx for the course! I learned an extreme amount of information. I wish I had taken this class when I filed. 3/15/03

Good info. on parenting plans and communicating with the child and other parent. Very happy I was told and sent to this class. J.H. 3/15/03

Class II was just as good as class I. Great view on issues and instructor. I am a fireman for 19 yrs. and I have gone to a lot of elementary schools. There are good points to talk with parents and children. C.L. 3/15/03

Excellent presentation. Humor helps the healing. 3/15/03

I've learned a lot. I knew that some things were incorrect and didn't want to change. But now see that changing will benefit our children and now hope to be able to work things out for them and not me or him. M. 3/13/03

This should be a required class before parents are allowed to hire a lawyer. I learned a lot and I hope that I can make it work. I didn't know that a course like this was available. 3/13/03

Many of your statements are right on target with my situation...you helped me open my eyes to more options of trying to resolve my situation. Mediation information was helpful. 3/13/03

Very informative. 3/13/03

Very informative class. Changed my point of view on my modification case. 3/12/03

Incorporating the video into the lecture was very useful. It helped me understand some of the opinions and the views from the court. 3/11/03

I attend both parts of the class and found a lot of useful information. 3/11/03

Class was very informative 3/11/03

I enjoyed the stories. They really helped me see the child's point of view and new ways to solve our problems in a more communicative and mature way. Thank you! 3/11/03

My wife and myself have both taken part I. We now are more flexible and communicating. With our child as our top priority. I can't wait for her to take part II. It is just as powerful as part I. 3/11/03

Very, very good. Wish both of us would have done this before we went to court. I saw things that we both have done wrong as well as right. R. G. 3/6/03

Thank you, this class was quite an eye opener on many subjects that I thought I had down good. 3/6/03

I think this class should be required to get a marriage license or required at your first OB appointment :) 3/6/03

I learned a lot. Thank you! 3/6/03

Very informative on teaching both parents responsibility of caring for the children not just possessing. Mediate, mediate, mediate, I hope. L. G. 3/6/03

Very Knowledgeable. A. M. 3/6/03

I appreciate the information on the mediation advice. It showed me how it could resolve our issues peacefully without the courts making the decision. 3/6/03

Anyone with a child or children should attend. "Powerful!" 3/6/03

D___ you talk fast! I appreciate your feelings to put the children first, and your enthusiasm towards coparenting issues. 3/6/03

This class opened my eyes to mediation. I am going to call my soon to be ex-husband after the class and ask if we can go to a mediator to resolve issues and keep us out of court. I am so Thankful for this class. Brad was an awesome speaker and presenter. 3/6/03

Excellent class - made me realize the position I have put myself and my family in. 3/6/03

Thanks for your knowledge and experience. I hope it will help us both. 3/4/03

Both parts were excellent. Truly made me think in new ways. 3/4/03

It's been fun! 3/4/03

This class should be mandatory when divorce is filed for. It would help all parties understand the child-related issues. E. C. 3/1/03

I would like for my whole family to take this class so that they will understand when I make the decisions I make regarding my daughter. C. L. 3/1/03

Very good class. I hope this class 2 is just as good. C. L. 3/1/03

I believe that this class gives different scenarios of real life situations so we look at that situation from a different perspective. To be objective and lax so that we recognize that for the rest of our lives we will be involved in some way or another, so we strive to make it easier for our children. I. D. 3/1/03

This class really helped me and I have learned a lot about our child and her situation. 3/1/03

Very good presentation. Very good points and how to address problems. P. K. 3/1/03

I wish I had known about these classes/options sooner. I have been involved in litigation for 3 yrs. and was not aware of any of these options/services until 3 mo. ago. 3/1/03

The class was presented very well! 3/1/03

Brad - Super Job! Excellent video. 3/1/03

I see now form a different point of view.. to not look at it in a legal way but a parental way. 3/1/03

This class was very helpful. I t helped me to be able to see things more from my child's eyes.. I really needed something to help open my eyes. C. S. 3/1/03

Yes, frustrated initially to be ordered here. Wonderful class, I'm very happy that I was ordered to go, looking forward to part II. J. H. 3/1/03

I believe that the objective overall is to create and maintain a constant security - a real security that our children can feel safe at both places. F. D. 2/27/03

This class was very informative. This has helped me realize on my child's attitude by the way parents speak or ask questions about the other parent. 2/27/03

I like the class very much. 1st time on a place like this. I recommended to all couples that have children or about to have children. 2/27/03

It's a great class. I learned so much things from this class. M. C. 2/27/03

Great class! Lots of good information... overall I think your class is a great buy and I learned a whole lot. Thanks! W. E. 2/27/03

Excellent course- both parts I and II. 2/20/03

I know that I can be a better parent now that I gained new and exciting information. Thanks and keep up the excellent work. 2/20/03

Great job! 2/20/03


This is an eye-opener and very informative for parents going through a divorce. 2/19/03

I've been exposed to some of this - but I can honestly say I learned a lot today - especially appreciate your focusing and giving us perspectives from the child's point of view. I lay to try to utilize this knowledge to promote a healthy lifestyle for my child. 2/19/03

The class is great. Keep it up. I wish this class was mandatory before marriage. 2/18/03

I enjoyed the video that was played. It brought a little closure to my reactions, and actions. T. S. 2/18/03

I feel this class has helped me a lot. Gave a lot of info. that I was just not informed on. I also realized there were things that I was or wasn't doing. Video's and seeing judges on their perspective. 2/18/03

Video's are excellent! :) He is a wonderful speaker. Keeps the crowd awake and involved. It was never boring... would recommend to everyone I know. G. M. 2/18/03

Maybe another handout you could add to your packet would be "good ideas." You mentioned at the end of the class - a great example was the phrase "your other home" or keeping clothes at both homes. 2/13/03

Very valuable class. Helped me to understand what did happen in court. 2/13/03

Good job!! Clear ideas. Discussion reminds you of the kids. Nice to see my judge in the video. JY, 2/13/03

Great 3 hour class, very informative. 2/13/03

Good video and info. I took some good notes that may help me. SR, 2/13/03

This class made me realize we are making good decisions for our children. LG, 2/13/03

I would recommend this class to everyone going through a divorce. It really opened my eyes to the different points of view on both sides! 2/13/03

This is a real good class with a lot of good knowledge. I wish I had this class before I ever went to court for this divorce. Brad does a really good job and makes getting this information real interesting and presents it in a professional manner. RB, 2/13/03

Great Class! Look forward to #2. 2/12/03

I have been divorced six years, and wish I would have been ordered to do this right when my divorce was final. 2/12/03

This class made me open up to being a little more flexible with how I should go about getting along with the other parent and come up with our own agreements to certain situations. 2/12/03

You made me see that some things I do are really hurting my boys. 2/11/03

This should be ordered first thing after divorce is filed. Before anything else is done with attorney's office. 2/06/03

The class was very informative. I took some notes. I would have liked to see a little bit more video taped footage from judges or attorneys. AJ, 2/04/03 (Extended Video Segments added this month)

Super helpful info! Thanks! 2/04/03

I can only hope that my son's father hears you as well as I did. The only thing important is our son. I would have enjoyed portions of this class with my son's father. BS, 2/04/03

This is a great class. Hopefully both parents will listen and understand that kids should always be top priority. JW, 2/04/03

I enjoyed this class. It is very helpful. I am looking forward to the second part of this class. RH, 2/01/03

Every parent that is fighting with children involved should take this class. 2/01/03

Very Helpful! It gives me better knowledge and resources. 2/01/03

Although my new husband was ordered to this class, I wanted to come for support and to gather more information for myself and our child (my stepchild). I was very drawn to every word you said. This is a wonderful and very informative class. I wish I would have known about this class before we started the court process so I could have been more informed. I recommend this to everyone in our situation. MH, 2/01/03

I thought this was a very helpful course which made me understand a bit better what I've done before. 2/01/03

I was enlightened. I hope my husband will come to this class with an open mind. Excellent information and instructor. Look forward to part 2. 2/01/03

The class was very informative. The examples were pertinent and helpful. I'm looking forward to the second class. I took lots of notes. AJ, 1/28/03

I hope my son's mother hears the presentation and learns from it. I feel these are excellent ideas that were presented. WM, 1/21/03

The class was very informing and worthwhile. It put things in a different light. 1/21/03

I really gained knowledge from the class and I think that is an excellent thing. 1/21/03

I asked for this class to be included in the court order, as an attorney I have seen how it has helped others so I knew it would help me also and it did. JB, 1/21/03

Please expand the class, maybe 4 parts 2 hours each. There is a lot of information to know. 1/18/03 (NOTE - Class expanded 2/03)

The course makes you remember who is important, and remember the statement "best interest of the child." 1/18/03

Whether or not we have to be here, we should come to the realization that we should attend more than two classes because it does help. RB, 1/16/03

Your charts and examples are very effective. Why don't you have a male judge on your video? Thanks you for taking your time. 1/14/03 (NOTE - Video updated 2/03)

Work hard to get his class mandatory before litigation even starts. 1/09/03

It should be ordered for both sides, including stepparents as long as they are a part of the child's life. 1/09/03

I feel more positive about my relationship with my kids. I learned that I am much more of a primary care provider than I thought. 1/09/03

It would be nice if there were daytime classes during the week for those of us who work nights. 1/09/03 (NOTE - Wednesday morning classes again being offered starting 2/03)

Lots of good information. The time went by too fast. It helped reinforce staying "positive" when uncontrollable situations want you to act negatively. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to allow me to become a better parent. BW, 1/07/03

Outstanding class. Instructor very knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. I really enjoyed the class. Keeps things interesting. Very informative. 1/07/03

Very enlightening-tons of good info. Looking forward to part 2. T. K. 1/4/03

I believe I came here with somewhat a closed mind and went away with a different point of view. I wish I would have taken this course before I got married. It was fun, fast, and very educating. D. E. 1/4/03

I feel like this was a helpful class for me and am definitely realizing that my family is hindering us from settling this due to chose to listen to them to often. Thank you for a great presentation that will hopefully help in our case. T. M. 1/4/03

Excellent. 1/4/03

We have attended voluntarily as we have settled all issues. This class still was valuable to me in regard to my attitudes. GS 1/4/03

Excellent class-kept me interested! Very down to earth explanations and examples. Y. T. 1/4/03

Thought the way all was presented was very good and detailed. I enjoyed your ideas and plan on putting these into action. Thank you!!! 1/2/03

Very good presentation! Hit all areas hard and to the point. Helped me realize what I'm doing now and how I can improve on my wrongful ways. I really am thankful. M. P. 1/2/03

I like the "victim" topic you covered. It is a big topic that some people (me included) didn't recognize. You gave the whole picture which helped me understand the situation more clearly. 1/2/03

2002
Very good speaker, I learned a lot from the class. Thank you! 12/26/02

Very Helpful! 12/26/02

I really learned a lot about mistakes that I have made and I will work hard to change my behavior in the future. I also really enjoyed the humor our instructor included in the class. I hope my child's other parent gets the same information out of this class that I did. J. F. 12/21/02

Did a good job! 12/21/02

Class was great. Part I was very informative to me, gained knowledge from all of that of part I and II. K. B. 12/19/02

Divorced amicably for 6 months! Will recommend this class to ex-wife, so we can fine tune and help with consistency between households. J. H. 12/19/02

Very informative and entertaining. Learned a lot without feeling bad about the situation I'm involved in. Good job! 12/19/02

Mr. Craig- Excellent instructor, very energetic and knowledgeable. Give him a raise. 12/19/02

Wish that I had attended this class before court. You were great! I learned so much- Thank You! G. E. 12/19/02

I found this class very helpful in a lot of ways. 12/19/02

Wonderful instructor! A. A. 12/19/02

Very informative. I enjoyed the class. F. F. 12/17/02

Great class! I wish all co parents could be ordered to take these classes. You make me realize that this is all about insuring our son's healthy well being. G. E. 12/17/02

I found this class very interesting and helpful. Thank you. L. S. 12/17/02

Glad that I was able to attend with my co parent. It was important that we both heard the same information. V.B. 12/17/02

I recommend this class to any parents of "children in the middle." The class really puts a lot of insight on the parent-child relationship. R. B. 12/12/02

I learned quite a bit form this course that will help me tremendously with my son. Every parent should take the class. D. T. 12/12/02

Great course. Awesome series. M.K.12/10/02

Did a great job in this class, in explaining a lot of things. Made me see it from a different point of view. 12/10/02

I encourage the instructor to continue his instruction style. He is very passionate about what he is teaching and gives a "real" point of view to his method of teaching. Basically, "he keeps it real" and that's what people need to do more of regardless if the "truth" hurts. I observed the instructor was not swayed by the questions and he was able to stay on task with the subject matter-Thanks. M. W. 12/10/02

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the course content. I did enjoy the visual aids and mostly the real life examples the instructor used-People deal with real life situations to help them grow than just words or "information" alone. Thanks! M. W. 12/7/02

Just wanted to say thank you. The word "fighting" really hit home. I was going to ask for full custody. I realized that now this is not the best way for the children. Mediation seems to truly be the best way to go about things. I have realized I'm not the primary caretaker and have not been in the past. My only wish is to spend more time with my children and learn to be a better parent. Your opinions are very true & grateful. Thank you again! M. K. 12/7/02

FYI, I am not the one seeking litigation. This was great for all parents! 12/7/02

Great examples! Humor was great. 12/5/02

This class has changed my views on using mediation. A. B. 12/5/02

Class was reassuring, enlightening, and entertaining, and I felt I was finally encountering someone who really understood the situation. 12/5/02

Wow! I was at 1st very frustrated I had to attend a class. More or less that I had to come 2x when I had already taken a class like this 7 years ago, and got little out of it. Now, I really understand me an my soon to be X, and my daughter so much more. This class was so dynamic, so insightful, and yet humorous, that I really wish this was the class I took 7 years ago instead. I really think it helped breaking it into two parts, so I could listen to the information about my daughter after I had dealt with issues regarding her mother and me. I will strongly recommend this class to others that are dealing with this stuff. Thanks! J. H. 12/3/02

Thank you for providing this service. I feel that every parent should go through these classes. This class has made me realize that he is not the only bad person or the only person that has not had our child's best interest in mind. Again, thank you. 11/26/02

Great presentation! I agree 100%. I wish my ex would have complied with her court order and attended! M.C. 11/26/02

I recommend this class prior to any and all divorces being final. Thank you! 11/26/02

Great Class! R. M. 11/22/02

I like the lady who instructed our class. She seemed knowledgeable and shared her experiences. C.N. 11/22/02

Liked the course...mediation info. was very helpful and interesting. 11/19/02

Thanks! 11/19/02

Great class! Good job. L. H. 11/19/02

Excellent! R. B. 11/19/02

Great Instructors! 11/19/02

I appreciate this. I wish my social worker had informed me of this. When asked for help, the response was "well, we don't get into any of that." K. P. 11/16/02

I wish I would have had this class two months ago. 11/16/02

Things look quite different from the child's point of view. Adults get so wrapped up in the drama of the situations, but truly the children are often the voices that are unheard. Thanks for being that Voice. 11/16/02

I really learned about some things I was doing wrong. Now I have been educated on how to handle things correctly. Thank you for the wisdom. M. G. 11/14/02

This class was very informative and I would suggest that it be a requirement. R.M. 11/14/02

Great! 11/14/02

Very Animated! Very Good! 11/14/02

As a result of the Adults Class I definitely decided to change my position on custody. R. E. 11/12/02

I feel everyone should be exposed to this class. This would be good to expose teenagers to. I would like to hear more about the emotions of the child and how to help them. I enjoyed it. D. R. 11/12/02

Lots of good information from a mediators point of view, that really encourages parents to try to work together rather than allowing a judge to make decisions. 11/12/02

The instructor kept the class awake by making everyone laugh, and talking very fast. Before I took both classes, I felt as if I was forced to take a brainwashing class, but no I feel better after taking both classes, and I have gained a lot of knowledge about children in the middle. 11/9/02

Thank you for looking at this whole situation from a child's point of view. It helps put everything back into perspective. I hope the other parent comes to this class because I think it would help the situation. J. D. 11/9/02

I learned a lot about my child's needs. I wish my parents had taken this when they divorced. Very interesting and very well taught. C. A. 11/9/02

I am walking away with a better knowledge and understanding of what my children are going through. Thank You! M. G. 11/9/02

Excellent! Great Job! 11/9/02

Great presentation-Great info.- lots of energy- Everyone should go to this, parents and friends of divorced parents! 11/9/02

I really enjoyed the Part I Adult Class "Children in the Middle." I was extremely frustrated, frankly "pissed off" that I went to prove up ready to do my final decree and was ordered to come to class. I really learned a lot and Brad was so funny, kept me awake and was not boring at all. I usually am easily bored during lectures. But he kept my attention even hearing yourself in examples and able to laugh. M. F. 11/7/02

Thank you for helping us all see that we need to work together. I thought you were great and very on target. We all need help. Don't change a thing. D. R. 11/7/02

This course really helped me understand my view of the other adult's situation as well as the view of the children. Good advice about the parents deciding the future of the children themselves through mediation. I would recommend this class to couples divorcing without children. S. R. 11/7/02

Brad is very amusing and speaks very well. I was happy with the course. He explains things to a "t". R. B. 11/7/02

You made it fun!!! 11/7/02

I've wanted to settle this case form the start. This class verified the importance of settling and doing what is right in the eyes of the children. Excellent delivery of the information. 11/7/02

Totally awesome! T. G. 11/5/02

Very informative! L. V. 11/5/02

Great class! Presenters showed very realistic situations that are common to most people. I think everyone can relate to what was said. Everyone should have to take this class to benefit the children. C. A. 11/5/02

Excellent info. Than
