I have been recommending Powerful Parenting to everyone! I think it would be so beneficial for all educators to be involved in this insightful program!” Kelly Harte – Director Grosvenor Hall Childcare Centre
 "I believe Davina has the positive outlook, combined with her sincere desire to help all children achieve great outcomes, that characterises her as a teacher of superior quality. Her behaviour management system is not only highly effective, but supportive and non-coercive for children.
Davina has the knowledge, zeal and dedication that enables her to be an educator of the highest calibre. Her pedagogical skills are founded on best practice and her underpinning attitude always focuses on the welfare of others.

LONDON BOROUGH OF REDBRIDGE EDUCATION FACILITY “Davina is very intuitive, creative, thoughtful and caring. We took advantage of her expertise and asked her to take a leading role in developing our Behaviour Management Policy and Practice while she was working with our school.” Lesley Hagon, Head Principal Illford Primary, Essex London UK
“The past few weeks have been very enjoyable for me! What a change! I am sure Davina has added years to my life with the relief from the stress I was experiencing! I have worked as a classroom Teacher aide for Education Queensland for 20 years, and found it increasingly challenging to work with disruptive students. Davina is inspiring in her approach and enthusiasm.
She shared her behaviour management ideas with me, and I have learnt to gain back control of these upper primary boys. Since I have put her behavioural methods into practice, I have been amazed at the change in behaviour and positive response in these older students! I also feel more confident having gained these skills! My heartfelt thanks Davina!” Veronica Garthe, Queensland Australia
 “As an early childhood educator, Davina has the proven ability to remediate those children needing individual and developmental attention. Her wealth of talent and skills excited not only the children but parents and staff. Davina's pedagogy, knowledge, communication and professional ability has been an asset for us and our teaching staff.” Sharon Johns – Director Hillcrest Early Childhood Kindergarten and Nursery, Logan City Australia
What parents and clients say
“Things are unbelievable in our house now! My son is eating this program up! This is not what we expected! And no tantrums since starting the program!

Thanks so much for the program and for your continued support. We really do appreciate it.” M. Collins, Sydney Australia

You have taught him that his friends and peers did not deserve his inappropriate behaviour. You've also taught him the importance of taking steps towards stronger, more controlled behaviour. Amazingly, Dean started to see inappropriate behaviour in others and would try to make them aware of what they were doing! Thank you for having such a positive affect on Dean!” Dianne E, Redlands Australia

What children say
“We have learnt to stop teasing, bullying, stealing, lying and we have learnt we must control our behaviour. Now everyone has improved. I used to be called ‘big ears' all the time and used to be very sad. Now I don't care what others say because I have learnt that I like my ears just the way they are!” Jazmyn M. Aged 8 ½
“I have learnt how to solve my problems with words and not with my hands and feet. I used to hurt people when they annoyed me. Now I fix my problems with my words.” Matt D. Aged 7½

“Last year ... I bullied people and got lots of time-outs. In the classroom meeting, people say, “I like you but I don't like it when you tease me!” So this year I can cop it on the chin and can be in-control of my behaviour.” Dean E. Aged 9
