Testimonials

"I like that we got to learn about parenting; I feel like schools don't really talk about this and expect us to already know about parenting, which we don't have a lot of knowledge of."

- Darrell F. a ParentABLE High School Student

"I think this is a great opportunity for people in general to grow and learn. Soon I hope parenting classes will be taught worldwide because too many kids suffer and are suffering from improper parenting techniques. I talked to my mom about it and she was all about it and realized she also made a few mistakes while parenting us. I love that we are doing this, this is so very important for literally the human race."

- Jenny P. a ParentABLE High School Student

"For me as a teacher, I’m totally sold on this program, and I think that my high school students are greatly benefiting by having this program in our school.”

- Kathy P. a ParentABLE High School Teacher
