In this short testimonial interview, parents Gemma and Ben discuss their experience working with parenting coach Camilla. They describe the initial difficulty of recognizing their own frustrations despite believing they were good parents, and how coaching helped them gain new techniques, confidence, and accountability. By putting themselves in their children's perspective, they learned to respond more effectively. The parents report noticeable improvements in their eldest son's confidence, independence, and happiness, as well as increased overall family well-being. They express surprise at insights gained from Camilla and satisfaction with the decision to seek help promptly.

I'm Gemma and this is Ben, and we've got two boys who are two and four.
I think the hardest part was thinking that we're good parents and the frustration would come out and that would bring bad parenting from us.
What would you say you've got from investing in working with me?
Lots of different techniques, confidence, holding ourselves accountable and realizing how we respond to our children is so important, and putting ourselves in their shoes and realizing that They're only little.
It's up to us to change how we deal with them and to understand them better. When Camilla talks, it's one of those things that's like, wow, how didn't I know that?
And we've noticed a difference in our eldest and his own confidence, his independence, his happiness, and our happiness.
You probably think, I'm sure I can cope with this. We think we're good parents and we were struggling and we're pleased that we didn't hesitate. We went straight for it and we've You know, got the rewards from it now.
And I think you lose the enjoyment about being a parent when things are so hard and just, oh, the same every day. But there's something special in terms of looking at your children in a different way and that they're not bad. And that's rewarding and the compassion to see your children for how special they are. So that's been hugely, hugely important for me as well. And, um, from a connection perspective as well with my kids.
