What Parents and Children Say
“This is the only place I can count on people really listening to me. I learn something new every week and don’t feel alone anymore.”
     – Parents Anonymous® Parent


“I thought that parenting was something you were born withboy was I wrong. I have learned that being a parent is wonderful, but being a teen parent is difficult. It is a bigger responsibility than I thought.”

Parents Anonymous® Parent

“I have learned that spanking only teaches that it’s okay to hit. Time out and directing a child to a different activity really can be more helpful. I also learned how to keep stress at a manageable level.”
     – Prents Anonymous® Parent

Parents and children are

"Parents Anonymous® is where mommy goes to be a better parent."

Parents Anonymous® Child

"My first meeting at Parents Anonymous® replaced hopelessness with hope. My second meeting replaced helplessness with new ideas. It’s now been three years, and I am the Parent Leader of my group. Knowing that you’re not a bad parent, that you did not learn good coping skills, can set you free."
     – Parents Anonymous® Parent


“I kept going to Parents Anonymous® for advice, and to vent my feelings of frustration and anger as a stepparent and for the support they gave me. As time passed, I grew and became a better parent and found that I was able to give back to other parents having trouble. Parents Anonymous® became a part of my life. I believe in what Parents Anonymous® is about and what they do.”
     – Parents Anonymous® Parent


“Parents Anonymous® is a place where people learn how to stop yelling… They learn to communicate and be a better family. That’s what my mom did, and it helped a lot. I know I’m going to be a better mom because of Parents Anonymous®.
