“I have received a lot of help from the Building Blocks program, from weaning from the bottle to solving sleep problems to potty training. It is a great program.”
“I have learned to stay calmer, less frustrated. I feel like I have a support system, learned to be assertive and take care of me too.”
“I have learned more about nutrition and how to keep my family healthy. We are coping with stress better.”
