My son and I learned a lot about our relationship at the Drop Your Reins Experience. Thanks to Marianne and Danielle, we are on our way to healing. Since just one session, he has started treating me with more respect. He has also starting to show signs of being able to control his meltdowns.
Our favorite part of the Drop Your Reins Experience was when we got to sit facing each other on the horse and feel a connection with each other that had been missing for a while. Kylar also said that standing on a horse was ‘awesome’ and made him feel special.
I, as the parent, did not think I would be stretched at the DYR experience. Little did I know I was the one to be stretched the most. For me to get close to a horse or have the confidence to sit on one was a huge thing for me. Something as simple as sitting on a horse and riding him around for a bit, has given me the confidence to know I CAN parent my children. I do have authority and now find myself speaking to them as such.
I look forward to sharing our experience with others: parents, friends, and those involved with my children’s school. There are so many ways to reach a child that is struggling with ADD or ADHD or low self esteem. Kylar is already begging to go back to Cheers Ranch for more DYR with Danielle and Marianne and Debi. He feels confident and at ease there. Thank you for doing so much for my child.
God Bless,
