What professionals and parents want you to know about our products and training:
Health Care Providers who work day in and day out with families and children affected by alcoholism and other addictions often struggle to stay positive. The disease has such devastating effects. I'm So Glad You Asked has brought the word 'possibility' back to our medical and health care community - and not just to our intellects, but to our hearts as well. Renewing!

All of us who live with substance abuse in our families thank you for your commitment to young children living with alcoholism and addiction. I'm So Glad You Asked has helped me to learn how to talk to my daughter about her (actively alcoholic) dad in a way that does not adversely affect their relationship, and that is priceless. Really, thank you. Congratulations on 25 years!

We are very isolated here (only one mail delivery a week by sea plane) with a 97% adult alcoholism rate. Our entire community is healing as we use I'm So Glad You Asked to educate our children. Thank you.

We struggle not only with educating our people about the disease of alcoholism, but also with the denial of an entire culture. We are so grateful for I'm So Glad You Asked. A guide for how to teach our children when they are young is invaluable.
Kindergarten Director, Buenos Aires Argentina SA
The lessons are subtle, powerful steps toward helping children learn to identify their feelings and ask for what they need. I was about to teach the lesson "I think I need a Hug," when I realized that I didn't know how to ask for a hug myself. I practiced for a week or so with my family and when I felt I had it down, I taught the lesson to the children. It was wonderful. Hugs all around! Don't be fooled, these lessons are for us grown ups too!

I use I'm So Glad You Asked with all of the children in my program. It's great for sharing feelings. We all hope that the children in our care will be spared from living with difficult situations like these [alcoholism and drug addiction], but when they do arise, as an adult with the possibility of making a difference, to look up and see I'm So Glad You Asked on your bookshelf feels like someone just threw you a life preserver.

It is clear that so much deep, sophisticated, multi-level thinking and experience have been distilled into this deceptively simple, gentle program for children. What you've got here is a wonderful and valuable resource, and I'm delighted to be a small part of it!

I'm So Glad You Asked is one of the best training's we've had in years. At the end of the day everyone stayed to continue the discussion. I think if someone had delivered food, we would have stayed into the night ...now that's saying something! Very inspiring!
