But, curiously, as a child therapist, I can't help but remark on my own anecdotal experience (a sample of two!)that the programme did seem to effect positive changes in two young children I saw over a period of a couple of years. If many families have had or were having similar helpful experiences, it would be interesting to know how and why.
