    Parents have shared in the past: “…(we) have benefited tremendously from attending the …
    parenting workshops conducted by Jef Fern. We were struggling as parents trying to raise our teenage son but after attending the workshops, we have a better understanding on why things happen the way they do and how to handle the situation for a “win win” outcome. Our family is no where near perfect, but Ho’ala School has not only nurtured our son but has also nurtured our skills on how to be better parents…”
