Testimonials"I was so impressed with how Mark was able to convey complex information in a completely approachable manner. [The] phrase that he instilled in me five years ago-- "Make yourself an askable parent"--is a constant part of my parenting inner monologue and referenced with my husband and friends on at least a monthly basis."
--Regine A. Webster, Parent "Your suggestion has stuck with me, about focusing on the tone of what we say: that it's even more important than the content at the moment. In fact, just the other day--years after your session--I found myself using that advice in a Sunday school class with other parents."
--Kara Lassen Oliver, Parent, Author: Writing the Journey "The sessions made a big impact on me and on my faith community and really was just a beginning point for a conversation that has continued on as our children grow."
