Remember our first tryst with technology? The landline phones, televisions, video recorders, and DVD players? These were our screen companions.

The screen has moved from the family living room into their individual hands.

I highly recommend Efrat, she can be a wave of delegation for you as well!... " Review @ Google!
“ We want to say thank you! We wanted to learn how to deal with him without getting out of control and without being the shouting and threatening parent. Today, we know the right way to deal with the challenges that different situations present to us and set boundaries in a supportive rather than punitive manner.”
