Would you like to share your testimony about working with Raelee or tell other families about the impact connecting with your children and simplifying your home life has had on your family since being companioned?

CHELSEA, mom to newborn and 2.5 year old, says…
I recently finished a course with Raelee and I am so thankful for all the support, encouragement, and words of wisdom I received from her. I loved how this course made me more intentional about parenting, which will hopefully be a pattern that will last throughout my lifetime. I really feel so much more “on track” as a mother now and like I now have new words and terms to describe so much of what I have been feeling and questioning, which I couldn’t really describe or explain before. I will be coming back to this blog and the Simplicity Parenting website often! Thanks a million!

CHRISTINE, mom to 7 & 13 year olds, says…
Hello Raelee – I just completed the Simplicity Parenting training; I wanted to let you know that although I read Kims’ book  and explored the website and blog, it was actually my encounter with your work that is leading me deeper into my exploration of parent education and support! I  have been an early childhood educator for 20 years, both in and out of  Waldorf education. I am a parent of two lovely girls ages 7 and 13. I so appreciate the clarity and freshness that your voice and authenticity bring to the noble task of parenting and I look forward to connecting with you as my work within this movement unfolds. With gratitude for your endeavors.

Hi Raelee -I have been getting up earlier and also taking a quick bath at night. I am also finding that I seem to use the time to stretch or do yoga moves. This is feeling really good to me…I am continuing to do the Compassionate Response meditation every morning and evening. Today I had a couple of trying moments when I just closed my eyes in front of a fussy 3 yo and did the meditation for a minute right in front of her. It seemed to help me respond more calmly and I was able to think more clearly to change the situation effectively. This is hard work, but on the good days I am definitely seeing big changes, especially in my 3 yo’s relationship with her sister. Thanks for being here for me, Raelee.

DENEESE, mom of 3 year old, says…
Hi Raelee – It’s really helpful to know you’re only a phone call or a few clicks of a mouse away. I like what you said about only verbalizing 1-3 requests and simply DOING the other things with her. I think my expectations have become more reasonable over the months, but occasionally, I still find myself asking her to do things that are beyond her capacity as a child. I am happy to report that she and I have had lots of opportunities to connect lately. We have spend loads of time snuggling and talking, and it makes us both feel better when we take time to do that. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

ADRIENNE, mom of 7 year old, says…
Raelee – I am very grateful to have found you as a resource – I think you are providing meaningful opportunities and services. Thank you for your honest open helpfulness. It really helped to dialog about this and I think you are such an authentic fantastic non-judgmental resource. Dialoging with you helped me to get clear that I really didn’t feel good about leaving my baby alone…I started holding her gently while she was laying in her crib and her crying had a different quality – much less stressed, just tired.
