More About Kenedria Thurman
“The training you did that sticks out the most to me is the one on the survival state and how you help move a child to their emotional state. I always go back to that. I learned that you have to look beyond what is in front of you so you can connect under the surface and have a better understanding to handle the situation.”
“I just want to say thank you so much for bringing Conscious Discipline into my life.”
