"A big thank you to Larne. I've noticed a lot of changes in Poppy during the course of the program. She is exhibiting more self-worth and her confidence has boosted tremendously. I would totally recommend the program to any parent for their child or children".

"Within weeks of starting the program our child has gone from not knowing how to make and keep friends to having 4 and counting! Self-awareness of behaviour has been remarkably different and the whole family is no longer walking on eggshells!! We love you Larne and the CK team.
Thank you".

"Our daughter has learnt some fantastic skills to help her deal with anxiety and difficult situations; she has thoroughly enjoyed attending. The material is easy to follow, with regular updates by email and as parents, we felt included in the process".

"Since my daughter has been attending your course she has shown many positive changes. There are still some things we need to improve, but working together we will accomplish it. The Confident Teens program has been the beginning..your help is invaluable. What you are doing for these kids is fantastic".

"Sean is much more in control of himself emotionally and is making more suggestions on how things are done - a change for the better"

"Ruby has, from the time she began the program, verbalised the strategies she is learning at Confident Kids, e.g. it's ok to have a try even if you think you can't do it. She is initiating more friendships with others. She does not seem so focused on the social world and all of its complexities as she once was".

"Dakota is trying. Sometimes her anger takes over and it takes me a few minutes to get her to remember to think about the things she has learnt in the group. She seems a lot more willing to acknowledge that she has taken the wrong action when she explodes and she now apologises. That's a big step for her".

"I think the program has really helped. I liked relaxing to the music and just thinking about breathing and what is happening right at that very moment. I liked being able to talk about my problems and finding solutions. I think they should have Confident Kids at schools".

"I really enjoyed learning new ways of dealing with problems as they came up, learning the breathing exercises and feeling better".

"I really enjoyed being part of the group and being able to talk and catch up with each other every week. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the group, it was all fun and I really want to do it again"

"What I liked about the group was feeling like I was no longer on my own. We were able to work together and share ideas. I really enjoyed the soothing, stress-free environment that made me feel welcome".
