Parent Success Stories

Freshteh is an exceptional parent coach. With many years of experience with all types of children and a deep understanding of child development, she was invaluable to us as parents. Freshteh's calm and measured approach leaves us feeling supported and ready to tackle the challenges of parenting. Parenting children with different personalities brought new challenges for us as a family and Freshteh helped us develop strategies and build skills so that we can be the best parents possible for both children. We noticed considerable improvements to our daughters' behaviour and feel supported as parents as we navigate each child's developmental milestones. We would recommend Freshteh to all parents who want to improve their relationship with their children and improve family dynamics.

Our experience working with Freshteh was amazing! We were struggling at home in dealing with our daughter’s defiant behaviour - listening and following instructions, shouting to get her point across, interrupting us while we were speaking, not participating in her extra-curricular activities. This behaviour was becoming an issue at home but also at school. Freshteh approached our scenario with love and kindness and was able to provide us with practical solutions that actually worked. I would highly recommend working with Freshteh! Cannot recommend enough her knowledge, expertise, and gentle approach.
