Victorious, with that username I would think you are advertising for her, LOL
I took her courses, I'm hooked, it is a learning curve and working everyday on yourself to help the whole family relationship.

Every parenting 'expert' has some nuggets of gold for you to take home. 'Mikol melamdei hiskalti'

I think a lot depends on how dysfunctional a home you come from. some parenting courses will teach you the basics from the ground up. Others provide you with some first aid; but without a good foundation you may not find the first aid effective in the long term. Perhaps you may.

Perl has a lot of good stuff to give over. Give her a whirl and see for yourself.

Some situations require more professional intervention; so much has to do with what exactly you are dealing with at home....

for run-of-the-mill parenting issues, Perl does a fine job.

As to the Brittish woman, you may be referring to Dian Friedman, and I think she's Aussie, not Brit.

I've taken both of these courses plus more and the next one I want to take is by Reb. Spetner. Please soemeone arrange it for us Americans! Can someone get her to agree to a teleconference? or webconference?

Some good books these parenting experts take their lessons from include Rabbi Wolbe's sefer; Haim Ginot's Between Parent and Child as well as Between Parent and Teenager; Miriam Adahan's works; and others that I don't have in front of me at the moment.

I thought she was pretty good. She is down to earth and she is a mother. She also gives practical advice.

to answer the question: I have not attended her workshop

Before taking any form of self-help workshop, it would be a good idea to find out the qualifications of the person in charge and who their haskamos are. There are many fine mothers, teachers & rabbis out there who call themselves professionals and become dispensers of advice. While a non-licensed nits/lice checker won't cause harm (I often wonder what university has licensed the lice checking"professionals" that I see advertised.), taking advice & making life changes based on advice or info received from a person with little or no credentials can be dangerous. Pseudo social-workers, analysts & parenting coaches who operate using their own experiences & life-wisdom , however well-intentioned, should probably be avoided.

What are Perl's credentials & does she have rabbinical approbation? (is that even a word?, correct me please)

Credentials...? been there, done that...
I would be looking for credentials in real life... Too many people with credentials do not walk there talk...

I know this is very old but does anyone else have anything to add in this? And is there a number to call or website or anything to find out more about her classes? How much do they cost?
TIA
