What is most wonderful about Margit is that my son thinks she’s okay. High praise, indeed, from a 14-year-old who’d really rather be playing baseball, texting his girlfriend or hanging with the guys, instead of driving with mom to visit Margit. And while Tommy doesn’t necessarily fall into either of Margit’s gifted teen or AD/HD specialties, we still benefit from her advice, her expectations of accountability, and her skill at removing the sense of isolation adults often feel while parenting teens. Margit doesn’t hesitate to tell me I’m wrong about something, which earns big points with my son and thus his cooperation. The opposite works as well – thank goodness! Consequently, both of us respect her and are confident she’ll level with us. We trust her. Knowing she is in our court is a huge weight off my shoulders, which frees me up to focus on my business, the rest of my family, and having fun with my son.

I so appreciate the care and concern you have given Ren the past 3 months and I also thank you for helping me to see how serious his school situation has been. I credit you with getting me out of the river of "denial" and into action mode. I feel empowered, to make a difference.
Thanks so much and may God bless you and your work.

I’ve just started working with Margit but I absolutely wanted to write this testimony for Margit Crane. Just two weeks ago I was feeling like one of my sons will never make it in public school because his ADHD is so bad. All I could think about was, “How are we going to find $30,000 to pay for private school?” I was talking to my son’s teacher who mentioned my problem to Margit. Margit told her to tell me to call. I’m so glad I did. Margit gave me some suggestions right away and I implemented them and my son is doing so much better. I don’t know what will happen but I feel hopeful. Margit is a rock star! Can you believe it? She could be saving me $30,000!
~Leah C., California
In a brief meeting with Margit I was able to address some concerns about my 16 year old daughter. I was feeling a bit frustrated that she has gotten lazy, and I wanted to know how to motivate her and not be a nag. Margit passed on some great advice. Thanks Margit, your practical advice goes a long way.

Dear Margit,
I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. I am so thankful that we hired you. I know we talked yesterday about my money fears. After all, the economy isn’t looking too good. Instead of trying to sell me, you were so kind to explain what your hopes are for my family. It really impressed me that you respected my concerns.
Then you met with Emily and I waited around thinking What are they doing? How is this going to help? I confess I had my doubts. It’s hard for a mom to put her trust in a stranger, no matter how nice they are. I was nervous.
When we were done, you had came up with 5 ideas for us to try out. FIVE. You noticed things that I’ve never noticed about my own daughter!
On the car ride home, Emily couldn’t stop talking about you and I can’t stop thinking about her talking about you. “Margit said I’m very organized. Margit said she loves my hair. Margit said I rock. Margit likes Dancing with the Stars too. Margit said. Margit said. Margit said.”
I also appreciated how when Emily said something that bothered me you noticed my reaction and you talked to Emily about it. It made me feel worthwhile that Emily could see that I’m not just her dumb mom. (She likes to say “That’s dumb, Mom”)
Here’s the gushy part: I felt so stressed two weeks ago. I wasn’t sure how I could go through 4 more years of tantrums. I was praying for help and went to the computer and there you were. That’s why I’m teary. At a difficult time, it’s so awesome to see God working in our lives. We are just so blessed.
Bless you,
Susan
I talked to Margit for 50 minutes today to find out how to better support my son who has ADHD and low self-esteem. My husband and I are more and more drained the older he gets. Margit prepared me for the appt by emailing me a questionnaire to fill out. By the time of the appt she had suggestion after suggestion for me. She seemed to understand my son and us even though we've never talked before. She didn't waste any of the time. Every minute was dedicated to my family and I. I recommend calling Margit NOW.
~Patty, Sammamish, Washington, May 2008
I met Margit when my family was shattered. Friends repeatedly suggested that I call but I thought that if I waited, the problems would work themselves out. I wish I had called Margit sooner. We all could have been enjoying instead of resenting each other. I had sent my son to therapy for six months and nothing had changed, so I was apprehensive about our first coaching call but Margit eased my mind almost immediately and I felt so hopeful by the end of the session. During that call, Margit put her finger on all the problems and made suggestions that I could implement that week. Later she coached my son and I together so that we would be on the same page. He thinks she’s great. We get along much better, he feels good about himself, and it’s only been 3 months. Thanks Margit!

How I felt before coaching with Margit:
How I feel after each session with Margit:
It seems unfathomable that one person could wholeheartedly advocate for the parents as well as the teen. When we coach with Margit we know that it will feel like she's on our side, individually, when really she's on our side, collectively. Margit is a family's best friend and a pure delight. She can lighten a situation with much love and joy and without the least bit of judgment. Margit, you are a dedicated family professional and we honor that.
~Melinda, Seattle
Margit is an alchemist – she takes the recurring frustration of parenting a wise-*ss and wise-beyond-her-years gifted teenage daughter and turns it into GOLD. She tinkers with our parenting technique like a mechanic with a beloved vintage car. Her tools are humour, love, instinct, experience, and intelligence. To her, we are Super-parents, and her belief in us makes it so. More people should know about Margit Crane!
~Denis and Laurence, Canada
My 7-year-old daughter has enough energy to power a jet. Margit Crane has helped me trim my child’s engines without extinguishing her spark. When I tried some of Margit’s straightforward, simple-to-implement tips, things got better at home right away. Margit gave the structure my daughter and I needed, and I’m grateful.
~Martha, Washington
Margit is a blessing to our family. We expected her to be good because of her experience, but we were so very impressed with our first session. She understood us as parents and then she was able to listen attentively to our daughter and made her feel important and safe. My daughter actually came up with new rules for herself that first call! She said she could tell that she could say anything to Margit and trust her. Margit is a mentor for our daughter and we feel very fortunate and very grateful.
~Susanna W.
Our whole family sees therapists but we called Margit to help teach our ADHD son life skills. Knowing that she also has ADHD softened her introduction. He trusts her and knows that she has been through what he has. At the same time, she is highly professional and delivers big. Margit has a calming presence that we value and she is always willing to answer a question or address an issue, even when it's just parental anxiety. Our son feels better about himself; we see that he has more confidence and optimism about his future. We feel better about our parenting skills because we know that we can bounce ideas off Margit. We want the best for our family, and that's Margit.
~C. and T. Z., Bellevue, Washington
I so appreciated Margit's expert insight regarding my six-year old daughter. Margit made me feel completely at ease and comfortable in sharing very sensitive situations. She is highly professional, yet warm and understanding, without judgment of any kind. She also went the extra mile in researching resources and approaches for my daughter's specific situation. Margit was extremely thorough, relevant, and helpful. After one session I am noticing progress in my daughter's self esteem and give credit to Margit's coaching.

If you have never seen Margit Crane with a teen client, you are missing out. She is virtually a "Teen Whisperer." She knows how to prepare them for the first visit, she knows how to greet them (my 14-year old son was waving hello to her from the car even before he met her!), she knows how to speak to them, listen to them, put them at ease, read them like a book, joke with them, and get them to commit to actions that are fair for both them and for me, the parent. It's quite a remarkable experience. Thank you, Margit. I feel heard and valued as a parent. My son says, "Yeah, she's good. She's nice."
~Lisa S., Puget Sound Parent
Margit is a kind, compassionate coach, totally dedicated to inspiring and supporting families and kids to grow together in harmony and in love. She is unique in that she not only understands teens but she loves them and delights in what they have to offer the world at precisely this often painful time in their lives. She is playful and quirky, intuitive and real - a gift to big and little kids alike.
~Miriam Evers, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and the Mother of Two Fabulous Teens
I had the privilege of coaching with Margit Crane. I was feeling stuck and frustrated with my relationship with my two children. Margit quickly helped me get to the nitty-gritty of the matter and, in doing so, I felt empowered to find solutions. Margit has a way of quickly ascertaining what's going on. She offered perspectives I needed to hear, suggestions that were right on and support that validated that I'm doing a lot of good with my kids, too. Margit was supportive in a non-judgmental way and reflected back to me the universal feelings we all share as Mothers. I highly recommend Margit to anyone wanting to improve familial relationships. Because of coaching with Margit, our family had a harmonious holiday season!
~Colleen Haggerty, Life Coach, Washington
We started working with Margit when our son Robbie was in his last semester of high school. He had a bad case of “Senior-itis” and we were afraid that he wouldn't make it to graduation. Margit was so willing to listen to our fears and to inspire Robbie to graduate. Now that he's actually in college, he is doing well and we just want to express our gratefulness to Margit and her patient and wise coaching.
~Judy and Paul B, California
Margit Crane is warm, intuitive & wise. I love her sense of humour. She is direct and honest and is deeply interested in her clients. She has guided me to a greater acceptance and appreciation of myself, and her love for my daughters showed up in her ability to instantly connect with them. Hire her for yourself or for your children!
~Rochelle, British Columbia
Margit Crane has a special gift for coaching young people. She transcends generation gaps, and creates willingness in the most extraordinary ways. Her ability to communicate profoundly with younger generations creates an uncommon bridge to reach our children. I cannot imagine a greater gift to a struggling youth than to have Margit's mix of professional and deeply personal attention. She is full of life, love and compassion. My daughter and I love her sense of humour. Her spirit makes the world a better place and I am grateful in how we have grown through our affiliation with Margit.
~Jean-Pierre LeBlanc, Relationship & Success Coach, Vancouver, Canada
Wow, Margit, you get to the heart of the matter time and time again! Your intuition is always bang on. And I love the way you can speak the truth to me so simply that I just embrace it. You get me results fast. I always feel so relieved and refreshed after I work with you; you help me find pieces of the puzzle that were hidden. Thank you.

Margit has a tremendous ability to connect with people. She thoroughly enjoys young people and delights them with her sense of humor and her easy-going manner. She is also very skilled at guiding them and holding them accountable. She has a great heart for people who are struggling to overcome personal issues and holds an immense amount of knowledge about ADD.
