I thought it wouldn't work for us - I thought we were 'too far gone' but six months on my confidence is coming back, my children are attending school again and my husband is off antidepressants.
I stood at the school gate and saw it all. I saw children going through a personality change as they left our premises and it wasn't just a few families. Something is off track in the Adult-Child relationship. How do we start to address this?'
We have been seeking feedback from professionals who have been training with us about the impact of I Matter Training on their professional approach - we have had feedback from Teachers, GPs, Social workers and Teaching Assistants.
I am seeing how without the right training or understanding it is easy as a carer or professional working with a complex child to start to feel very negative feelings.
I thought I was doing this course for professional reasons, but my relationship with my own child has deepened so much as a result of what I have been learning through I Matter training. Thank you!
Overall, we are in a much better place and now have a myriad of strategies and things to draw upon when things are not going well. So a big heart felt thank you for helping us with getting to a much more positive point as a family.
There has been such a change. He was totally shut down and not interacting. 1 year on he is playing with other children in the playground and even helping others out. I love working with him! Joined up home-school program for an adopted child aged 7yrs with questions regarding autism
