Parenting style matters - a lot!

"To be a man, a boy must see a man."  (J.R. Moehringer)

"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

Parents' Comments

“Our psychiatrist recommended Rick to help us sort out behaviour management issues for our autistic son. He was an invaluable help.”

(C.C. – Sarnia)
