It wasn't about his ability but more about his belief, his habits and his owning his success and future. Over the past three months we have seen an unbelievable transformation to the point he has started this 2015 school year making straight "A"s as well as having teachers write him notes tell them they are proud of him and he is setting a great example for the rest of the class! PROUD DAD! We know its only been a few months and we have much work ahead to make sure these changes are permanent and give my son the best chance of success and happiness in life; but I will say this: I have always attempted to solve my family's problems on my own and some times I have done well. But setting aside my pride and inviting a professional like Donovan in to give third party perspective as well as sound guidance and ideas has totally began the transformation for my son!

As the Saturday approached I thought of ALL of the other things I had to do and had a bit of remorse for booking. I actually talked to another mom about this in the class, who said the exact same way. (Both of us thought: I have so much else to do, what can someone say over these four hours, my husband is going to be so annoyed, etc. etc.) WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Taking this class - learning the tips of how to talk to your child, things to say, how to say them, what to do when you're not sure if something is inappropriate, what is appropriate (between kids, for example), what do it if something is inappropriate, how to prevent sexual abuse with your children and in your community - is worth a million bucks and a million hours. Feather KNOWS her stuff - she's worked in this field for decades. She presents the material in an organized, logical, professional manner and gives you next steps that are concrete for preventing abuse in your family. Her examples are to the point, and not needless triggering. The fact that parents to be take a "how to install a car seat" class while pregnant, but not this type of class when exactly that the predators are hoping for and what often allows offenders to be successful at offending.

As an advocate and founder of a non-profit foundation for the protection of children from sexual abuse, I have spent even more time researching and funding initiatives to stop childhood sexual abuse. My husband and I thought we knew everything we needed to know to keep our 3 children safe. That is until we attended a Parenting Safe Children workshop. Our minds were blown by the information we received at this workshop that not only enabled us to help recognize and respond to abuse but, most importantly, how we as parents can cultivate a relationship with our child and their caregivers/teachers/coaches that will keep them off limits to predators. I have since hosted 3 Parenting Safe Children workshops and encouraged every member of our family and friends to attend this workshop as it is THE. MOST. VALUABLE. parenting information we have ever been exposed to.

We had spoken to one early on, but she was booked by the time we tried to hire her. Luckily for us, she recommended the services of Jordan Allen at Bella Vita Doula. My wife and I were able to take a number of parenting classes through our hospital, but it was all very broad. It was absolutely invaluable having Jordan there to fill in the blanks we had from class, as well as providing a fuller, more comprehensive overview of the basic facts learned in our hospital classes. While our classes provided information about "most babies", Jordan's instruction felt more like we were talking about "our baby". Much of the information we got from other sources -- classes and our OB -- felt very medical, very textbook, and very impersonal. Jordan provided research based, data driven information, which empowered my wife and I to believe in ourselves, not just as individual parents, but as a team, soon to be in charge of a little life. Speaking in my own experience, being a soon-to-be-father can often feel very alienating. Most folks -- family, friends, medical staff -- are rightly preoccupied with the health of Mama and baby, and the journey they're undergoing together. Lots of jokes about "you just helped with the fun part" can make it easy to feel like the non-birthing parent doesn't have a place in this journey, or in labor and delivery. From our first interaction, Jordan made me feel the opposite; that I was in fact one of the most important parts of "the care team", as she put it. I don't think it's an understatement to say that Jordan was one of the bigger parts of my support system during the pregnancy journey. We also had the privilege to have Jordan for two postpartum visits, in which she provided lots of tips and tricks for new parents, and most valuably, how to find further support if needed, be it lactation consultants, parenting resources, and further explanations on the sterilized information we gained from class. Jordan's pricing was very reasonable (I would say she should charge more) and was always available for my wife and I, be it for small questions, or broader conversations about something we had heard from one source or another. By far, the most valuable service Jordan provided was her unflagging certainty in my wife and I that we can do this. Due in no small part to her, we have. You could do no better than Jordan Allen.
