"The best thing I ever did for my family!" -Toby Fisher

“Playful Mastery is one of the greatest investments we ever made for our family. Our son stopped temper tantrums and hyperactive behavior and we created a more harmonious and caring family. The important tools of communication we all learned are priceless!” -Michael

"The Playful Mastery seminar was outstanding! Our daughter really learned a lot and is putting concepts to use daily. Great job! We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to present these concepts to our daughter in a fun and easy to learn way ... I want you to know one thing that happened that really touched our hearts ... at the end of the seminar, [a parent] was presenting to her daughter. As she read, her daughter was so touched that a tear fell down her daughter's cheek. That made the whole weekend worth it for everyone, in addition to everything that we all learned. Thank you so very much ... It was life-changing I think for every child there, and for the parents." -Lisa

“After attending the workshop, our three daughters actually discuss ‘differences of opinion’ and end up friends and even HUG instead of yelling, name calling and pushing as they did for years! Peace and laughter are daily occurrences in our home now.” -Carol

“My five year old son, Ricky, set a goal of reading books for the Read for Life Program to earn a trip to Disneyland/Magic Mountain. He then planned the steps (reading a lot of books every day)…and he did it. He fully expected to win, he knew he would win and he made it happen!” -Laneisa

“I had an amazing weekend.  James is cracking me up already with his, ‘What ‘R’ is that Mommy?’ I just wanted to express how much this weekend meant to me and my family.  I appreciate everything!”  -Kimberly Zink

"This was an awesome time of a connection for our family. I really feel prepared to help our kids understand and use the tools in their lives." -Tracy Demers

"One day I was sitting at my computer struggling/thinking how it would be great to have better family unity. There was an email that popped up for Playful Mastery. I knew right away that it was for our family. I can't wait to put to use these tools in our family to create the extraordinary family life that we envision. Thanks for all your support." -Pam Poad

"We have seen such incredible changes since the kids’ pm. Life is more fun, manageable, and enjoyable! The daily battles are almost completely nonexistent. The yelling is gone (at least so far, and I hope I don't resort to it again) and we are actually communicating where we understand each other. Thank you for this opportunity!" -Donna

"Great experience with Matthew (son). Great to have a common language." -Kim Canning

“ ... are [you] seeing successes with your children as a result of your personal growth?--I know I am! Of course there are still days that I wonder. But then the next day my boys will come through like shining stars and surprise the heck out of me with some unexpected action or attitude that I know is a result of the work we are all in the midst of now.” -Teri

Children

“Today at school I stood up for myself. A girl that is sometimes mean to me asked me for some of my snack. I said, 'No.' She got mad at me and made a face. I said, 'That’s your choice to be like that.' Thanks for teaching me about CHOICE.” -Megan

"Thank you for telling me about BRUTUS. I use him every day when I feel scared, sad or mad. My teacher asked me what I did ‘cause she said I was happier now. I even got all my spelling words right ‘cause I am not afraid anymore." -Ericka


Adults

"My experience at Playful Mastery absolutely changed my life. I realized that I had put my inner child away a long time ago and it really needed to come out and play. I started the weekend a rigid perfectionist and by the end I was rolling on the floor, dancing, and truly able to let myself play. I learned so much from those children that I will never be the same. It is amazing how much more sense the personal growth materials made when put into the simplest of terms. Anyone with kids, or without deserves to be a part of this incredible experience." -Rebecca Smith

"Thank you for an inspirational weekend. It was such a wonderful exercise in seeing young minds at work including my own. You are truly amazing in how you worked with all the kids. They really do get it ... [A colleague and I] discuss the kid's PM and how much we both got out of it!” -Craig
