I worked hard to help these and other families grow as a family and I will work hard to do everything in my power to help your family.  I am passionate about getting the tools and information parents need into their hands. - Ruth Fett, Parent Coach

"We were at our wits end.  I am embarrassed to say it but I hated my children.  They were a constant reminder of how much of a failure I was as a parent and I resented that insinuation.  I called Ruth when I could no longer take it and was considering giving the kids to my mother to raise.  My husband works weird shifts and is never here when I need him, so I go it alone most of the time.  Our four children were in complete control of the house and I just wanted out.  Ruth came in and immediately confronted me on how I enabled their behavior.  She was blunt, unlike counselors the children and I worked with over the years.  She did not feed us a bunch of counseling mumble, she talked straight.  I think it helps that she is a real mom with real issues right now.  I feel like she can truly understand where I am coming from.  I will give up my maid before I give up Ruth.  She is an invaluable resource to me as a parent.  I am a better and happier parent because of the 45 minutes a week I spend on the phone with her during my lunch hour.  Ruth is the best kind of expert, she lives what she teaches, that makes me feel like I am normal.  Good luck Ruth; you deserve the best."

"At first, I was skeptical....."Who's going to tell me how to parent my children?"  But after a one hour consult, I thought I could at least learn something from all this.  I was surprised by how much I learned about myself and my approach to others close to me.  Our sessions with Ruth not only helped me listen and learn with my children but with people I work with as well.  Thanks Ruth!" - Paul

“Ruth helped us to realize the importance of boundaries between the parent and the child.   Parenting is a continuous challenge and Ruth’s experiences could serve as an advantage to any family." - Andy Blondeau  

"It was a great experience having Ruth coach our family.  We saw great improvements not only in the children but in ourselves (as parents) as well.  There is far less yelling and whining and much more cooperation." - Lori

“It was a unique experience having Ruth come directly into our home to observe the interaction of our family in our natural setting.  Ruth’s insights and reflections helped us to re-evaluate our parenting skills.  We were able to set goals that immediately had positive affects for our family.  Within two months, we saw a tremendous improvement in our daughter's behavior.  We received comments from her teacher on the positive changes in listening and following directions at school.“ - Tiffany Blondeau   

“I feel Ruth is uniquely qualified to step into any situation and take charge of resolving issues quickly.  We saw almost immediate changes in our child after working with her.  The sessions we had with her were very powerful coming from her and very long lasting as well.  She has very good ideas/suggestions to help resolve many problems.” - Paula     

"Ruth has helped me to calm down.  I was at a complete loss as what to do with my 14 year old daughter.  Ruth helped me to understand that if I calmed down and stopped feeding my daughter's behavior she would calm down too.  Now we can talk again.  Ruth saved my relationship with my daughter.  I am at ease with her again, we talk and have fun together.  I would have been lost without Ruth's help.  I do not know what I would have done, she saved my sanity. Thanks Ruth" - Gina

"My two-year and four-year old sons were out of control.  They hit me and my mom who lives with us, yelled at us, ordered us around and refused to cooperate with anything we asked them to do.  Ruth came in, taught us a few simple techniques about laying down limits and sticking to them.  She guided us through the difficult process of changing our approaches and responses to our children.  At first it felt fake, like it wasn't my style, but now it feels natural.  I like the results so much that I kept pushing forward, now calm is the norm in our house.  I model a calm approach to everyday issues and the kids are starting to pick up on that and follow my lead.  My two-year old son, called me on the carpet for breaking our family agreement to talk in nice voices.  It was humbling but I learned that he is watching me and I need to be aware of my actions.  Overall things are not perfect, but much improved over where we were six weeks ago.  I think I will work with Ruth for the long term, it is great just talking on the phone with her and having an educated advocate on my side." - Sarah
