Nacho Kids Academy Nacho Parenting Success Story:

“My husband wouldn’t stop parenting my kid. I hated it. He was constantly on my kid about performing chores. Which would be fine; however, he never told his kid to do anything. He’d take away my son’s electronics as punishment for my son not being ready to walk out the door the minute he was supposed to in the mornings. If it was his daughter running late, it was no issue. I couldn’t take it any longer. I had already started looking at housing options for my son and me. After looking into this Nacho stuff after hearing a podcast, I realized this might could help us. I told my husband, “I can’t take the stress anymore and need you to please try this for 30 days for the sake of our marriage.” A week later, he agreed. 30 days later and we are better than we have ever been. It has not been perfectly smooth sailing, but the improvement is astonishing! We even decided to stay longer in the Academy to take another one of the challenges! Nacho saved our marriage!” E.H.
