Don't Take My Word for It...

Testimonials

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)

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

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.

12 year-old MS Life-Lab Participant

This was even better than I expected! I liked all the activities, so I can’t choose my least favorite one. My favorite part was the 24-hour activity.

11 year-old MS Life-Lab Participant

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!

C., mother of an 11-year-old


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)

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)

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)

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
