"I first heard Bonnie speak at the Born to Learn Conference in Saint Louis. She did a fantastic job on the stage in front of 1500 people. I so wanted to share her with colleagues back home in England that I asked her to come and be the keynote speaker at the Parents as First Teachers National Network Day. In front of both audiences Bonnie demonstrated the skill of being able to connect with people and get her message across. She is a great person and a great presenter."
—director, Parents as First Teacher, England
"Bonnie you really helped me and I appreciate that. If it wasn't for those classes, I would have lived with guilt but not knowing how I could have done it any differently. You have made me a happier mother. I am proud of myself."
—mother of two teenaged girls
"I just really want to thank you for all the great education and advise you have given to me over the years. I'm working as a special ed aide, and have found what I am supposed to do! I remember you once said something about open your mouth and out comes your mother. Well at my work so many times I open my mouth and out comes you! I owe so much of my success in my job to my classes with you. I have just started my early ed teaching certificate, and can't believe how much I already know! I never realized just how valuable all those classes were."
—parent and special ed teacher
