"Antes de asistir a estas clases estaba muy frustrada porque pensaba que los confictos con mis hijos adultos que viven conmigo no tenían solución .Aquí aprendí que ellos y yo estuvimos transitando una y otra vez el ciclo de la violencia. Los invité y ellos aceptaron venir a las clases así que todos empezamos a manejar y aplicar las mismas técnicas. Hoy en día,nuestras relaciones familiares han mejorado mucho."

"Fuí un niño maltratado y por eso, en muchas ocasiones sentí el impulso de tratar a mis hijos como me habían tratado a mí. He estado asistiendo regularmente a estas clases y ahora entiendo que lo que sentía era producto de la violencia que aprendí de mi padre. Ahora cuando mis hijos hacen algo que no me gusta, respiro profundo,me calmo y los disciplino con firmeza pero con respeto para que esta violencia no siga pasando de mi generación a la de ellos."
"I was abused as a child, therefore often I felt the urge to treat my children the way I was treated. I've been regularly attending these classes and now understand that what I felt was the result of violence that I learned from my father. Now when my kids do something that I do not like, I take a deep breath, get calmed and I discipline them firmly but with respect because I do not want the violence that I experienced as a child passes from my generation to theirs."

"Le pedí a mi esposo que me acompañara a estas clases pero no quiso venir así que empecé a asistir con mi hija. Después de la 4ta sesión mi esposo me dijo que yo era una mujer 'diferente' y que ya no estábamos discutiendo tanto como solíamos hacerlo. Debido a este cambio positivo, él aceptó que yo le explicara el contenido de cada clase, de manera que yo me convertí en un puente entre este programa y mi esposo. En la última clase, mi hija tomó una hoja de papel, pintó un sol, le escribió en el centro la palabra: SHINE(BRILLO) y se lo regaló a la instructora, la señora Contreras. Fue su manera de decirle: 'Gracias por el cambio positivo en la dinámica de nuestra familia'."
"I asked my husband to attend these classes with me but he refused to come, so I decided to attend with my daughter. After the session #4, my husband told me that I was a 'different' woman and that he had noticed that we weren't arguing as frequent as we used to. Due to this positive change in our relationship, he accepted that I explained to him the content of each class, so I became a bridge between this program and my husband and we observed an even greater improvement in our family relationships. In the last class, my daughter took a piece of paper, colored a sun, wrote the word: "BRILLO (SHINE)" in the center of it and gave it to the trainer, Ms.Contreras. It was her way to say: 'Thanks for the positive change in the dynamic of our family'."
