What Participants Say

Mark

“I thought my family was over. I learned skills that helped me work through the issues I had with the kids and even my wife. We have had a number of breakthroughs and our family is back on track.”

Javier

“I have learned to control my tongue when my kids are in conflict and need me to listen to them. Before this class, I would always try to give them a solution right away. Now I have become a better listener.”

Steve

“R3 Academy has helped me learn how to listen and communicate better with my children and wife. I haven’t been having the difficult conflicts that there used to be after trying to resolve problems with homework or chores.”

Paul

“I learned to be more tolerant, respectful and accepting of my children’s choices and behaviors.”

Len

“[I] learned a life-changing way of bonding with kids and wife. More aware of my actions and responsibility in raising and nurturing my kids. Actively practicing learning in my day-to-day interactions with my family.”

Joel

“I learned that being an active parent not only improves your relationship with your kids, but it also improves it with your spouse and even friends and neighbors.”

A.M.

“I learned how to be a better father to my kids. I know it sounds simple but I had no idea how much I was lacking as a father until I took this class.”

Dan

“The relationship with my wife and children has vastly improved after taking this class. Our relationship has become more intimate. I feel like we are closer and that we are on the same page as co-parents with our children.”

Ramiro

“I feel that [my kids] can open up to me more and that I am on their side and that they actually have a voice. The kids feel empowered.”

Marcos

“There is now more open communication with my children, and I know that they trust me more as their father.”

Alfonso

“Things were slipping with all aspects of my family relationships. I was acting like my father did and was afraid things would never recover. Now, thanks to the R3 Academy Dads program, my relationship with the kids is better than ever!”

Rogelio

“I now feel more confident as a father.”

Efrain

“A better way of communicating with not only family members, but society in general. Better interaction with a group of peers in at least one category, fathering. The academy has the ability to have real change in an adult man, who lacked the necessary, total skills to parent effectively.”

Min

“Know more about child development stage and power listening their needs and thoughts, more cooperative with my wife regarding raise children with good behavior. Recognize child’s frustration then encourage him instead of telling him what he is doing wrong.”

Henry

“I now sit down to talk to my children as if we were friends. This has opened up the communication in our family.”

Y.S.

“We are happier now and the times we spend as a family are amazingly better.”

Mark

“My relationship with my children has drastically improved. I now understand that everything I say or do is being modeled by them.”

The R3 Academy is a 24-hour workshop. Livestream workshops meet in two-hour sessions, typically once a week for 12 weeks. Live workshops can be either two-hour weekly sessions for 12 weeks or four-hour weekly sessions for six weeks. The On-Demand learning method delivers a two-hour session to your Inbox each week, which you can complete at any time during the following 14 days.

Workshop materials will be shipped to participants via USPS or another common carrier.
What if I miss a Live or Livestream class?
Attendance at the first session of any Live or Livestream R3 Academy is mandatory. If you are not able to attend the first session, we can transfer you to a future R3 Academy workshop or you can opt for the On-Demand format.

After the first class, you can make-up up to two sessions by watching a video presentation of the material you missed. These make-up videos will count toward your overall attendance, and can help you earn the incentives for attending at least 90% of the workshop.

What incentives do you offer?
For completing the Entrance and Exit Survey, participants receive a $25 gift card. If the participant attends 90% of the workshop classes, they can receive an additional $50 gift card. Another $25 gift card is given if participants complete a 4-month Follow-up Survey.
