Most kids respond to the traditional parenting methods -- discipline, motivators, natural…read moreconsequences, blah blah blah. But some don't. So you visit therapists, psychiatrists, parenting coaches, blah blah blah. Nothing helps. You feel like shit for being such a failure as a parent, and life becomes pretty miserable. Anyone else been there? We went through the wringer with our older child (now 18 and beyond much help) but when we saw our younger child starting to go the same way (lying, stealing, disrespect, etc.) we were ready to try something different. Thank goodness we found Jim Kling. He is really different. For one thing, he comes to your house. He talks to the parents, not the child. He works from the outside in (the kid's environment) not the inside out (how the child feels). He walks you slowly, patiently, through his program that is so simple yet so foreign to us that the two of us (each with a master's degree) had to really work to bend our minds around it. Jim is entirely available by phone or email between sessions to walk you through specific situations or just clarify the rules. It's not cheap, but it works. It's worth every penny. Send me a PM if you have any questions.

Ric Shanks and the Alternative Teaching program helped our family beyond measure. We tried…read moreeverything- parent coaching and counseling, medication and various therapies for our ADHD child, every book on oppositional and ADHD kids ever printed- nothing improved our home life very much or for very long. A counselor recommended Alternative Teaching to us, and it changed our lives for the better, and "better" is an understatement. The system taught us as parents how to take back control over what we will and will not tolerate without getting emotional or resentful. And it empowers our kids with a sense of choice over how to behave and what the consequences of those choices are. Ric has been 100% supportive and available any time we call, following up and working with us long after we had completed the program. There are no miracles out there- we still have to work at keeping our family functional. But Alternative Teaching is the only way that we have achieved results for our efforts. I second the prior reviewer who said that it was expensive but WORTH EVERY PENNY! We are so grateful.

Cant say enough good things about this school. They have done a spectacular job right out of the…read morebox in regards to e-learning during the pandemic. It was a very smooth transition and the teachers were available for questions and maintained contact with their students through google meetings. I never realized how important a smaller classroom size was until we were faced with such a horrible situation. Our other daughter is in public high school and they were ill prepared for the type of response required.

The school had planned in advance to offer distance learning at the start of the school year, so that classes would not be canceled due to weather. The plan was executed at the start of the pandemic. I give all Saint Anne teachers huge props for adapting immediately and transitioning all its students to this new method.
