I have two daughters, aged 2.5 and 5.5, and I often feel like there should be some kind of instruction manual for parents. The guidance provided by Maskit through the Parenting Lab really addresses that gap. It is engaging, practical, and offers useful tools for handling everyday challenges with kids. She also brings up topics that feel very relevant, things I am sure most parents deal with at some point.
For example, the topic of rewards and punishments really touched on something I am currently struggling with, and I appreciated the way Maskit approached it with clarity, empathy, and a down to earth perspective.

This workshop is a thoughtful guide to parenting, grounded in positive guidance and strong connection, with tools and examples that are easy to apply at home.
One of my biggest takeaways was realizing that unwanted behaviors are just the tip of the iceberg—real change starts with strengthening our connection as a family.
We’ve already seen some transformation. We set up systems around things that used to cause daily friction—like cleaning up after dinner and breakfast choices—and we’ve seen real changes in behavior. One small but powerful example: instead of arguing every morning about cereal, we brought it to a family meeting and agreed on two cereal days per week. No more conflict.
I’m more confident now, and this series helped me reflect on what I was already doing while offering new ideas that truly work. I’d strongly encourage anyone to join, whether you’re new to this or have already read a lot about parenting—the hands-on experience and practical tips make a real difference.
A mother of two (ages 4.5 and 1.5)
The workshop series was thought-provoking, illuminating, and structured in a clear and effective manner.
I was surprised by how quickly I saw positive changes after applying the strategies. I’m more aware of my reactions and how they affect my children, and I’m responding with greater mindfulness and calm.
This series helped me better understand my children’s perspective and reflect more deeply on my parenting.
Jessica, mother of three (ages 5, 2, and newborn)
I just wanted to say thank you a lot for everything… The laughs, and things I needed to hear… I wouldn’t know what to do if it weren’t for you, deep down I am going to miss it. Thank you so so much again, I’ve been recovering and taking this time to myself and learn more about me which has been working. I do really feel so much better.
G., age 15
Having two teenage boys at home, I needed all the tools I could gather to better understand my boys and be better prepared for what comes my way.
Maskit delivered what I was seeking with knowledge, experience and sense of humor. I came back home after the workshop feeling empowered and ready to face my two teenage boys who were getting into summer vacation mode.
Looking forward to attending future workshops.
Shiri Reuveni-Ullrich, mother of teens (ages 12 and 14)
This workshop offered a comprehensive toolkit for navigating parenting challenges with confidence and empathy. Maskit has a deep understanding of child development. Her place feels like a very safe and homey environment, and participants were encouraged to ask questions, share their own experiences, and engage in group discussions.
The tools provided have already proven effective in my daily interactions with my children. I highly recommend it to all parents!
Edith, mother of three (ages 6, 4, 2)
Maskit has such wisdom and knowledge when it comes to parenting. I applied the techniques she taught, and my kids have been calmer and more connected to me. I highly recommend working with her, it will make your life simply more enjoyable.
Nana Gavriel, mother of three
(ages 7, 3, 1)
I had the pleasure of attending several of Maskit's parenting groups, and I couldn't recommend them more highly. The environment she creates is non-judgmental, supportive, and incredibly nurturing. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of warmth and acceptance.
Maskit has a remarkable ability to listen deeply and empathetically to everyone. She ensures that each parent feels heard and valued, and her insights are always thoughtful and encouraging. The group discussions are rich and meaningful, providing valuable perspectives and support for all participants.
If you're looking for a loving and holding space to share your parenting journey Maskit's groups are the perfect place.
Dana Daly, mother of four teens (ages 19, 17, 15, and 11)
Thanks for your excellent workshop. I was happy to have the helpful reminders from the previous workshop and your new insight into other families' familiar issues.
I would love to attend more of your workshops in the future!
Cass, mother of a 2 year-old
Maskit’s workshop was such a wonderful experience. I really like her approach which is simple, direct, and effective. I think the fact that she has 4 children of her own gives her the advantage of what works and what doesn’t. One of the many things I took away from her workshop is consulting teens regarding home chores, rather than ordering them. I recommend this workshop for anyone struggling with raising teens.
Ronen Stern, father of teens (ages 15 and 17)
My favorite activity was getting to know one person. It was fun. I would like to learn more about time management and I know it is in the plan, so I am interested in coming for more workshops.

This was even better than I expected! I liked all the activities, but my favorite part was the 24-hour activity.
11 year-old MS Life-Lab Participant
Maskit created a safe space for the group of us parents to talk about the things we’re struggling with, and I left inspired with new tools to try out. Great to have the bubble out of family life to talk about this stuff with other parents… feels validating knowing we’re not the only ones going through it
Tom Daly, father of four teens (ages 19, 17, 15, and 11)
I loved every activity! The workshop helped me think about how to act and how others will act. I would be interested in attending other workshops I am sure they would be very fun!
11 year-old MS Life-Lab Participant
I’ve been meaning to reach out. My daughter LOVED your workshop! And, she really doesn’t love much other than anime, make up and her friends these days so this is HUGE!!! Thank you!
