Here’s what parents have to say
about CPS:
| “It’s a great tool to teach parents how to parent.” | “It builds the relationship instead of tearing it.” |
| “This is a gentler approach to parenting that is trauma-informed; it takes into account kid’s trauma.” | “It’s teaching us to take that step back, that deep breath so we’re not adding to the chaos. And teaching kids how to live without chaos.” |
| “It taught me to be a more positive parent.” | “It’s pulling together strategies from other approaches.” |
| “It teaches children how to be parented – that they can grow, be listened to [by a parent]. If we teach them how to be parented, they can learn how to parent, and we can break the cycle.” | “The approach gives you a chance to take a breath. It reminds you to take a breath, step back and take perspective when faced with challenging behaviors.” |
| “It teaches us to be proactive rather than reactive.” | “CPS supports relationships, and therefore avoids rebellion.” |
